When Miao people find lovers and fall in love with each other,they like to “catch edge field”, but tujia people use leaves to show love.

Every day,tujia people in the mountains talk with birds, to tell them the lonely,happy, worry,or secret thing. Without doubt,they pick several leaves to blow no lyrics songs.These songs,may be pathetic or elated,weep or bitterness.When listenning to the music,the birds chirping,like a mountain spring with a wonderful ding-dong,full of poetic.

Blowing leaves is not an easy thing,it need long-term practice.Inconvenient to admire some of the young men or women, but not like matchmaker to gossip,they can use leaves to have a courtship to show the full love.
