He started learning to write novels in 2007 and has published many novels in Jiangmen Literature and Art, Guizhou Writers, Hundred Gardens, Youth, Little Novels Monthly, Cuiyuan, and Short Stories. Mucheng Township, with a radius of fifty miles, has attached great importance to Baixi funerals since ancient times. When a person dies, he not only has to chant sutras and Buddhas, accompany the spirit to rescue the suffering, but also invite relatives and friends to come to pay homage, and invite suona craftsmen to sit in the hall and play. There are two suona craftsmen in a team, with two suonas, one big and one small. The small suona plays high-pitched and loud, and the big suona plays the reverse spectrum, deep and deep. One forward and one reverse, the two swords are combined, and the blowing is so heart-stirring and full of twists and turns. On the day of the funeral, the suona craftsmen invited by the three relatives of the Xiao family to pay homage will usually take this opportunity to hold a suona competition. The Xiao family will also give a red envelope for the suona craftsmen to compete for it.
