In western China, Ningxia(宁夏Níngxià) is located on the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River. It is known for its lush fields(lush fields or gardens have a lot of very healthy grass or plants) and also for being beyond the Great Wall. The local culture of Ningxia developed through the assimilation(when people such as immigrants assimilate into a community or when that community assimilates them, they become an accepted part of it) of the cultures of the central plain and western regions. There have been many unique musical instruments developed in Ningxia. In the last century it was found that the wawu, mimi and kouxian, all Ningxia instruments, had evolved from the qiangdi (a kind of flute) and the huang (a kind of reed instrument).
