Yue Guang Xia De Feng Wei Zhu(Fernleaf Hedge Bamboo In the Moonlight) is a highly recognizable classic in Chinese folk music, renowned for its rich Dai ethnic charm and gentle, melodious tune. Composed by Shi Guangnan, the piece draws inspiration from life scenes in Dai-inhabited areas of Yunnan — a romantic picture where moonlight spills over fernleaf hedge bamboo groves, and young men and women pour out their affections beside bamboo houses. Imagery such as "fernleaf hedge bamboos," "moonlight," and "bamboo houses" in the melody has become iconic symbols of Dai culture.
The song is dominated by a slow, lingering 3/4 time rhythm, with melodic undulations flowing like moonlight. It retains the lyrical softness of traditional Dai music while being accessible to the general public, creating a vivid auditory scene that makes one feel as if they are in a Dai village moonlit night. Though there are numerous versions, including choral and instrumental ensemble renditions, the most classic is the solo performance on the hulusi (gourd flute) — the mellow and gentle tone of the hulusi perfectly matches the mood of "lightly swaying bamboo leaves" and "whispering evening breeze," making it the "synonym" of the hulusi and a must-learn piece for beginners.
The sheet music is in the key of
C, which can be played on aC-keybamboo flute with the fundamental tone as5. Of course, aG-keybamboo flute with the fundamental tone as2can better simulate the glissando effect of the hulusi when playing from3to5, though the overall difficulty of performance will be slightly higher, so one can try it as appropriate.
