1. Dong folk songs

Dong nationality's big song is a kind of folk compound vocal music, with high and low voices scattered in various forms. It can be roughly divided into seven types: Daqu (Galao), Pipa (Gapipa), Folk Song (Galixiang), Jiuqu (Gagao), Tantang Song (Tang Ye), Children's Song (Garawen) and Diqu (Gadi). There are also Niuguqin music, folk songs and so on. Custom songs also include roadblock songs and hymns. In almost every life scene, there is a Song style. Multi-voice, no conductor and no accompaniment are its main characteristics.

The singing occasions of big songs are very particular. In addition to the usual training, they can only sing in the Drum Tower, a landmark building in Dong villages, major festivals, collective exchanges or when receiving distinguished guests from afar. Therefore, Dong folk songs are also called "Drum Tower Folk Songs".

Dong people's dependence on songs stems from their lack of words. They inherit history and customs through singing, even if they accept foreign cultures, they accept them in the form of music. This also makes them less influenced by external culture and inherit their own way of life relatively independently.

2. Lu Sheng

Lusheng, called Lusheng in ancient times, has bright and vigorous timbre and rich national characteristics. It is a musical instrument widely used by Miao, Dong, Yao, Shui, Gelao and Dai people.

Lusheng has six tubes with different lengths and thicknesses. There is a sound pressing hole outside the bottom end of each tube, and each tube has a sound. Every two or three sheng pipes are sleeved with a bamboo tube as a sounding tube, and the effect of adjusting the volume is quite remarkable. Its specifications vary, from 20 cm short to 2-3 meters long, suitable for the elderly. When playing, the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of both hands press the left and right rows of tube holes respectively, and the mouth contains a mouthpiece, which can be pronounced by blowing and sucking. Use breathing and tongue movement to play all kinds of vibrato and vibrato.

Legend has it that Lusheng appeared in ancient times when Miao ancestors called for peace and harmony. According to legend, when Sue and Sue made the sun and moon, they stole the seeds from God and scattered them in the ground. Unfortunately, the harvested millet is very poor. Sue and Sue once cut down six white bitter bamboos from the mountain, tied them into a bundle, and played strange music in their mouths. Strangely, the rice in the field grew very luxuriantly in the music of bamboo flute, and that year was a bumper harvest. Since then, Miao families have played Lusheng on festive days.
