Chinese instruments

Have you ever seen Lahu people dance the Sheng? It is a gourd sheng, an ancestral musical instrument of the Lahu people. It is made of several bamboo pipes and a gourd. The hand holds the sheng pipe and the sheng bucket made of the gourd. Suddenly, the high and low are surrounded by several pipes. Legend has it that the ancestors of this ancient nation came out of the gourd. They regarded the gourd as a sacred object. The gourd Sheng was carried by men and blown wherever they went. The bonfire was lit, and the table in the middle was filled with cereals, tea and rice wine. The skilled reed and sanxian players began to lead the dance, playing the ancient tunes. The men were in a circle and the women were in a circle, singing together. The rhythm of the music is like the pulsation in the blood. They dance and rotate clockwise, changing according to the melody, stamping their feet, lifting their legs, turning around, clapping their hands, supporting their shoulders... The sound imitates the animal form in the action. They danced when they were celebrating, when they were celebrating, and when they were happy. As long as they heard the sound of the reeds, they couldn't help but want to dance. Lahu, one of the oldest ethnic groups in China, "la" means unity, and "hu" means happiness.
