Singing Dong songs gives members of the ethnic group a positive attitude toward life. "Rice nourishes the body and songs nourish the soul," said Hu. "The Grand Song of Dong is complements people singing to life. The reason I teach songs is to pass on our folk music and to help people escape from pain and troubles and instead have the enjoyment of beauty."
