The most famous "Tujia Symphony"-Da Liuzi

Daliuzi is an ancient folk musical instrument ensemble that spreads in Tujia areas. It has a long history and diverse tunes, and it is also a unique art form of Tujia nationality. Tujia Daliuzi is mainly distributed in Longshan, Baojing and other places. So, how much do you know about Tujia kicking?

Next, let's look at it from the perspective of national culture!

Origin of valve

Daliuzi is a unique percussion music of Tujia nationality with a long history. Judging from the ancient custom of Tujia people beating gongs and drums to drive away the so-called "Tiangou" that devours the moon during the current "lunar eclipse", it may have originated from the primitive fishing and hunting era. When people hunt animals, they will knock out fishing and hunting tools and "guys" such as pots, bowls, pots, cans, spoons and bowls, so Tujia people still call it "hitting guys". In the era of copper and iron, it was just a copper and iron "guy". The use of gongs and cymbals is obviously very late. From the fact that playing cards have no music score, but imitate nature to reflect people's feelings about life, we can see the initial simplicity.
