Every festival celebration, red and white wedding, etc., Lisu people will gather around to "hit and dance", accompanied by the joyful dance, almost must have the melody of Xiaosu Sheng. Five bamboo pipes of different lengths are combined on a single gourd, each pipe has two sounds, and the two parts are played to each other, which is also like a dance, one is the melody of the loop, cheerful and smooth, and the other is often the harmony of five degrees or eight degrees, accompanied by it, and points out the rhythm as steady and varied as a foot... As an indispensable favorite in Lisu people's life, the little Cucurbitu Sheng is either for solo entertainment or as an accompaniment for dance. Legend has it that their little Cucurbitu Sheng once had "72 tones", which were transmitted from mouth to heart and spread among people, covering all situations in their lives, and they had corresponding tunes to express their feelings and express their feelings on any occasion and at any time.

For example, the song "Masti", which means busy farming in the Lisu language, is accompanied by the Lisu people's production and life dance. The melody of Xiaosu Lushan is vibrant, and the music bars are compact and cyclic, like a scene of busy and orderly farming, which people seem not to regard as bitter. The music is lively and simple. It seems that their work itself is a dance, that all their activities are woven in the song and dance, that their manners are quick and agile, and their faces are always hung with a bright smile full of joy and hope for life, just as the theme of the song itself - the farm must also dance.
