1. The production of any cultural product (whether spiritual or material) is inseparable from the environment on which it is based. As a material musical cultural product, the same is true for musical instruments.

Danner, a famous French philosopher, famously said: "The products of spiritual civilization, like the products of the plant kingdom, can only be explained by their respective environments." Page) In the influence of the environment on culture, physical and geographical conditions are undoubtedly an important factor. The appearance of Daguangxian with agave rhizomes and bamboo as the main materials may be somewhat accidental in Fujian and Taiwan, but it originated in the subtropical south of China, which is warm and humid, with lush natural vegetation and rich in bamboo and agave. region is inevitable. When the six-to-go bow changes to celebrate 56 plugs, love controls A to dig and build. North 1f A and 6F Yima canisters are very similar, and naturally some people will try to use them. Under the circumstance that the experiment has achieved good results, it is a matter of course for its rapid spread and popularity. In the process of spreading, people continue to test and improve it, so that it gradually becomes what it is today. This process not only reflects the important influence of the natural geographical environment on musical instruments, but also reflects people's creative wisdom in making musical instruments according to local conditions, local materials, and creative wisdom. traces of the veins.

2. When studying the regulations and influences of the environment on people's cultural choices, social and economic development is also an important observation angle that cannot be ignored.

The contradiction between the densely populated and narrowly populated areas in southern Fujian has always been very prominent. In addition to the exploitation of the landlord class and the tyranny of the government, the life of the people at the bottom is extremely poor. In order to make a living, many people had to leave their homes and seek a new living environment overseas. To a large extent, the phenomenon of "Tangshan crossing Taiwan" occurred in history. When the ancestors were freed from their hands and feet in the barren mountains and ridges, their economic difficulties could be imagined. In this case, villagers are less likely to spend more on other relatively expensive musical instruments that are considered "luxury". At this time, the Daguangxian, which is easy to source, simple in production process and can be made at almost no cost, has become the main musical instrument of their Hushi entertainment life, and the Daguangxian, which is also at the bottom of the society, has become the main instrument of their Hushi entertainment life. , It is only natural that the walking and singing artists (mostly palace artists) who are also at the bottom of the society also choose it as a tool to make a living. The author believes that this is one of the important reasons why people choose the shell of the agave rhizome instead of other materials as the large and wide string piano, and it can develop rapidly and widely spread locally.

3. As one of the tools to express people's thoughts and feelings, musical instruments are not only related to material conditions, but also inseparable from spiritual culture.

The Daguang strings with agave rhizomes as the violin tube are thick, rough, and even slightly sandy (more obvious when they are played with black ponytails), which may seem vulgar and vulgar to the ears of some scholars or scholars. Vulgar, far removed from the elegance, subtlety, slenderness, and meticulousness they advocate. But in the hearts of ordinary people, this simple voice is full of a strong rural life atmosphere, which is very consistent with the cheerful and straightforward temperament of the local people, and is very suitable for expressing their emotions.
