In the early 1950s, "Jianghe Shui" was processed into a two-pipe solo piece. It was transplanted into an erhu solo piece by Huang Haihuai in the early 1960s and spread more widely. Whether as a double-pipe solo or as an erhu solo, "Jianghe Shui" can show its unique charm, which is inseparable from the unique timbre of the two-pipe and erhu instruments. The double-pipe is a wind instrument with a whistle. It is composed of two pipes of the same shape. When playing, the two pipes sound at the same time. Playing "Jianghe Shui" with two pipes can give full play to its special timbre, which is similar to human voice, and vividly express the pain, sadness, desolation, grief and indignation of the music.
