The Bi plays an important role in the musical life of the Dai people. It is not only the most popular wind instrument, but also the main accompaniment instrument for the narrative rap, Zanha tune and folk songs of the Dai people.

The significance and application of Bi

In the Dai Village in Xishuangbanna, wherever there is Zanha's singing, there is the melodious music of Qi floating in the air. The Bi is usually played by men, but the singers can be male or female, and the singers often cover their faces with palm leaves or fans. Wu is also the "matchmaker" for young men and women of the Dai nationality when they are in love. The young man often uses it to express his love to the girl he loves.
