Lianghe Hulusi
Basic Introduction to Lianghe HulusiHulusi is a free reed aerophone. The Dai, De'ang, and Achang ethnic groups residing in Lianghe have had a profound cultural heritage for over a century, particularly the distinctively featured Hulusi (also known as Hulushao, called "Biliangdao" in Dai language), which has a long history in the predominantly Dai ethnic towns of Mangdong and Mengyang. Its origins can be traced back to ancient legends. Historically, the Hulusi art adopted advanced Han Chinese production tools and techniques relatively late, with slower development in productivity, entering the landlord economy stage later.

It originated in the Longwu River Basin area of Tongren County, Huanan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, from the fifteenth century. For centuries, a large number of artists here have been engaged in folk Buddhist painting and sculpture arts. The sheer number of artisans and the remarkable skills of the group are rare in other Tibetan regions; hence, it is known as the "Land of Tibetan Painters." The Tongren region is called "Rege" in Tibetan, so this art form is collectively referred to as "Rege Art." Diligent Rege artists have traveled across Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, and even to countries like India, Nepal, Thailand, and Mongolia over the centuries, leaving behind numerous exquisite artworks. This unique ancient Tibetan cultural art produces works that are accurately shaped, vividly depicted with meticulous brushwork, brightly colored, and rich in decorative elements. The simple painting style, harmonious color schemes, and lifelike depictions of expressions fully reflect the industrious wisdom and splendid culture of the Tibetan people.
