One day, grandma went out to dig wild vegetables, and an old man with a faint white beard helped him home in Lu Yu. After careful nursing by his mother and daughter, the old man with white beard recovered. The old man gave them a red pearl with changeable gold and silver to express his gratitude, but the little sister refused to accept it. She begged the old man to change water from the dry river so that farmers could grow rice and eat delicious white rice. So the old man took out a bamboo tube with eyes hidden in his arms, put on a reed flute, and played beautiful music, telling him, "This is called a reed pipe. Using it to blow clean water can relieve the drought." My little sister learned to play the flute. She stood by the dry river and blew. In an instant, running water gushed from the river. She stood on the ridge and blew, and the water in the field flashed. People grow rice and transplant rice seedlings, and the earth is covered with green clothes.

Scholars in the Tang Dynasty, such as Bai Juyi, Cen Can, Yuan Zhen, Zhang Hu and Xue Tao, all described the wonderful sound of the reed flute in their poems. Bai Juyi said in Listening to the Reed Pipe: "The new reed pipe is suffocating and the ancient bamboo branches are desolate. Such as singing in the gorge, blowing in the wild goose gate.

According to the legend of folk artists, in the ninth year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji presented Qiuci music to Nanzhao King of Dali, including a reed flute. In the 16th year of Zhenyuan in Tang Dezong, when Yimou, the king of Nanzhao, went to Chang 'an, the capital city, to offer sacred music to Nanzhao, he also brought a reed pipe with him, indicating that the reed pipe was introduced into Dali Bai area from the Central Plains more than 1200 years ago.
