肇兴是个小集市，周边的寨民都会把自家的蔬菜和禽类挑到集市上卖。傍晚，在穿过梯田回堂安的路上，老人肩上一筐挑着没卖完的菜，一筐挑着睡着的小孙子。

Tibetan reed shawm or oboe (Tib. rgya gling/ saying "gyaling" རྒྱ་གླིང༌). This shawm is made from a hardwood bore, such as teak or black rosewood. It is highly decorated with an eloborate, gilded copper, bel-shaped trumpet end, and a reed mouthpiece with a small resonator made of beaten metal. Its wooden bore has six or seven holes with an upper back-hole for the thumb, similar to the Western recorder. however, unlike the Western recorder or oboe, it is played with the hands reversed, the left hand fingering the lower notes and the right hand the upper.
The Tibetan oboe or gya gling derives from the north Indian shenai, which in turn is of Arabic origin. The gya gling has a variable pitched tuning, and is very difficult instrument to master. Like the long horns (dung chen) and the short horns (kang gling), the gya gling are always played in pairs.
