3, konoha, is to use the leaves of trees on the mountain. It is very important to choose leaves by blowing wood. Non-toxic leaves such as orange, pomelo, poplar, maple and holly are usually used. The blade structure is symmetrical, and the front and back sides should be flat and smooth, especially the blade with moderate elasticity and youth. Miao people in western Hunan like to play with bamboo leaves, which are thick in the middle and thin on the sides, and the leaves are just the right size for playing in the mouth, and bamboo leaves are not fragile.
4. The play of Konoha is very simple. Wipe the leaves clean first, and then put them in your mouth sideways. By using abdominal airflow, the leaves are blown out of the mouth, which makes the leaves vibrate and make a sound. During the performance, Miao people often hold the leaves tightly in their mouths with two fingers of their left hand. With a light blow, they can play different tones.
5. Playing konoha, which can be solo or accompanied by other musical instruments and vocals, is not only a form of entertainment for Miao people, but also a living custom of Miao people.
