The Then song is the religious music of the minorities of Tay and Nung . This type of song can be considered a religious performance of Long Poems which depict a journey to the heavens to ask the Jade Emperor to settle trouble for the head of the household.
Long Poems consist of several chapters with different contents and lengths. The longest poem ever collected was about 4,949 sentences with 35 chapters. The Then song is a general performance of music, singing, dancing, and making gestures in different circumstances. In the ceremony procession, not only must the artist carry out religious activities, but the actor must also sing, play music, dance and show gestures to demonstrate the meaning of the sentence he is singing. Sometimes the artists also perform other activities.
