Jiaming in Lu Xian County has a folk musical instrument very similar to Baba. What kind of musical instrument is this?

This is a folk musical instrument in Jiaming, Lu Xian County, called Huahao. It is made and played in a way very similar to that of an infant. At the same time, the number of flowers was once considered as an infant by the locals.

Huahao and Baba are not a musical instrument. "Records of Luzhou City" mentioned: "Zan is a country wind instrument, commonly known as Hua Hao. Made of annual tender bamboo, it is thick at the front and thin at the back, about one meter long, shaped like a clarinet, but it has no calendar sound hole, only one sound, and its sound is clear and melodious, and it is mostly played around the Spring Festival. " However, although the two are very similar, the workmanship of the flower number is not as delicate as a baby. So, carefully separate or separate the difference between the two.

The history of flowers and swaddling clothes is also different. Babies have been used in military and folk bands. It spread to China shortly after the Silk Road and was loved by many ethnic groups in China. But now almost no one uses it, and it has become an instrument that is about to be lost. Jiaming flower number has been circulated among the people for a long time, with a history of one or two thousand years. So the time is longer.

Although the flower number is simple to play, the production is not particularly fine. However, it has high artistic and historical value. It is the historical testimony of the people of Lu Xian County on this musical instrument for more than 1000 years, and it is also a precious preservation of ancient folk musical instruments. It can be said that the flower number is also a precious folk treasure in China.
