The Buyi Leyou is a wooden double-reed direct-blown instrument, which is popular in Xingyi City, Qianxinan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, and the Buyi ethnic group settlements along the North and South Panjiang Rivers. "Leyou" is a transliteration of the Buyi language, meaning "a small trumpet that sends a signal to lovers" or "a small trumpet that wakes up lovers." This instrument has existed since ancient times. According to the "Brief History of the Buyi People", "During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Bajie, who lived in Pu'an Prefecture (now Xingyi City, Guizhou Province), began to compile and perform Buyi operas." Leyou was created after Buyi operas and has a history of more than 200 years. After the appearance of Leyou, it was absorbed by the Buyi Eight-tone Sitting Singing Band and became an important musical instrument. The body of the Leyou is about 40 cm long and consists of five parts: a resonance tube, a tube body, a copper hoop, a core, and a whistle. The range is a-a1. The natural breathing method and the circular breathing method are mainly used when playing. It has rich skills and sweet pronunciation. It has a mellow, smooth, beautiful and pleasant artistic style and is good at expressing emotions. The tune played by Leyou is called "Leyou Tune", which is often named "Missing Tune", "Calling Sister Tune" and "Langshao Tune". It can be divided into two categories. One is the instrumental music played by Leyou, with representative works such as "Calling Sister Tune"; the other is the vocal music sung with lyrics to Leyou tunes, with representative works such as "Langshao Tune" and "Missing of Leyou". The performance of Leyou only shows some rules at the beginning and end, and the other parts are relatively free. The player can play freely according to the fixed core phrases or performance motives, and the same tune will change greatly each time it is played. The Leyou performance art of the Buyi people is a unique national music form created by the Buyi people in the Panjiang River Basin in their long-term production and life. It reflects the life concept and artistic talent of the Buyi people, and has important reference value in the study of musicology, folklore, etc. At present, due to the impact of market economy and popular culture, the number of Leyou players is decreasing, and this precious national folk art is in need of protection.
