This ancient tune is played by Tuliang, a unique instrument inherited by Jingpo for thousands of years, which is a very unique single-hole direct blowing instrument. Cut down a unique glutinous bamboo tree of Jingpo Mountain, or cut a long section, or two sections of the same length and thickness are connected, open the two ends, and open a blow hole in the center, and the artist who makes it adjusts and determines the length of both sides of the blow hole according to the volume and syllable while trying to blow, and a Tuliang is made. Its production process also determines that each Tuliang is unique. Jingpo people in the mountains grazing, in the work and rest, playing Tuliang, or imitate the mountain bird song, or play folk songs minor, or express the heart of love, but also for the collective song and dance accompaniment. The instrument, which is only one hole, has a wide range of two octaves, and an amazing expression of freedom and change. In this ancient tune, you can hear not only the high pitch bright and clear like flute, but also the middle and low bass whimper soft like flute, and no matter in which range, how the performance, are generally quiet and smart, just like the Jingpo people believe in the animism, their music has always presented a full of reiki undisenthralled mountain world like an arcadia.
