Good. It's one of legends about Hulusi.

Thank you!

It's late for me to read your fairy story. ice~

I have never thought that the hulusi was born of such a beautiful legend.

By the way, you translated "葫芦丝" as “Calabash flute” in your article. Is it its formal name in English ? Then there is another question emerging from my brain. That is , how to translate "巴乌" into English?

Oh,thanks.

Bawu, not bad.

I will write sth about Bawu sometime.

Thank all

Hulusi and Bawu is the best,I think.

Are there any foreigner here?
