The Gongche spectrum manuscript and Qupai of Luowu Tusi remains are musical material evidence of the central government's policy of "Civilizing people with culture" and "Ruling minorities by minorities" through the power of the Tusi in border areas. Verified by various sources such as historical records

score formats

and seals

it is inferred that the Gongche spectrum with the Yi language seal is the Tusi inheritance manuscript from the Kangxi period of the Qing dynasty. Its translated spectrum and sung spectrum exhibit characteristics of both stability and variability. The creative inheritance of Qupai music by the descendants of Luowu has led to the derivation of many variants of ancient Qupai

as well as the creation of tune titles that combine regional characteristics and ethnic features

known as "Major Branches" and "Minor Branches." These Qupai possess both the ceremonial functions of courtly music and the universal characteristics of popular music. The Gongche spectrum is an important musical cultural heritage of Tusi Prefecture

and the Qupai it records serve as a musical carrier of the cultural system

playing a significant role in the inheritance and development of musical thinking and the fusion and identification of musical culture.
