When it comes to the Qiang people, in addition to oracle bone inscriptions and ancient documents, Wang Zhihuan's "Liangzhou Ci" of the Tang Dynasty said, "Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass." The name of the Qiang flute can be said to be a household name. Coincidentally, Fan Zhongyan of the Song Dynasty also wrote a poem in "The Proud of the Fisherman": "A cup of dirty wine can lead to a home thousands of miles away, and the swallows have no plan to return. The Qiang pipes are covered with frost all over the ground." According to relevant ethnic history research, today's Qiang people began to migrate southward from the northwest grasslands in the Spring and Autumn Period at the latest, and formed the current living pattern in the Minjiang and Fujiang River basins during the Song and Yuan dynasties.
