China: Miao men playing the lusheng, a traditonal Miao instrument, in the village of Langde Shang, southeast of Kaili, Guizhou Province

The lusheng (also spelled lu sheng; spelled qeej and pronounced gaeng in the Hmong language) is a Chinese musical instrument with multiple bamboo pipes, each fitted with a free reed, which are fitted into a long blowing tube made of hardwood. It most often has five or six pipes of different pitches, and is thus a polyphonic instrument. It comes in sizes ranging from very small to several meters in length. The Miao are a linguistically and culturally related group of people recognized by the government of the People's Republic of China as one of the 55 official minority groups. Miao is a Chinese term and does not reflect the self-designations of the component sub-groups, which include (with some variant spellings) Hmong, Hmu, A Hmao, and Kho (Qho) Xiong. The Miao live primarily in southern China, in the provinces of Guizhou, Hunan, Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Hainan, Guangdong, and Hubei. Some members of the Miao sub-groups, most notably Hmong people, have migrated out of China into Southeast Asia (northern Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar (Burma) and Thailand). Following the communist takeover of Laos in 1975, a large group of Hmong refugees resettled in several Western nations (United States, France, Australia, and elsewhere.).

Traduction automatique: Le lusheng (également orthographié lu sheng ; orthographié qeej et prononcé gaeng en langue Hmong) est un instrument de musique chinois doté de plusieurs tuyaux en bambou, chacun équipé d'une anche libre, qui sont insérés dans un long tube soufflant en bois dur. Il comporte le plus souvent cinq ou six tuyaux de hauteurs différentes, et est donc un instrument polyphonique. Il existe dans des tailles allant de très petites à plusieurs mètres de longueur. Les Miao sont un groupe de personnes linguistiquement et culturellement apparenté, reconnu par le gouvernement de la République populaire de Chine comme l'un des 55 groupes minoritaires officiels. Miao est un terme chinois et ne reflète pas les auto-désignations des sous-groupes qui le composent, qui comprennent (avec quelques variantes orthographiques) Hmong, Hmu, A Hmao et Kho (Qho) Xiong. Les Miao vivent principalement dans le sud de la Chine, dans les provinces du Guizhou, du Hunan, du Yunnan, du Sichuan, du Guangxi, de Hainan, du Guangdong et du Hubei. Certains membres des sous-groupes Miao, notamment le peuple Hmong, ont migré de Chine vers l'Asie du Sud-Est (nord du Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar (Birmanie) et Thaïlande). Suite à la prise de contrôle du Laos par les communistes en 1975, un grand groupe de réfugiés Hmong se sont réinstallés dans plusieurs pays occidentaux (États-Unis, France, Australie et ailleurs).
