Xishan Diaogu originated from Shuibai Village, Xiangquan Town, Chencang District, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. It is one of the traditional folk customs of the Han nationality in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, and is an intangible cultural heritage protection project in Shaanxi Province. According to research, Xishan Diaogu has a history of thousands of years. Diaogu is accompanied by the long-standing local community fire and jokes (a small duet play circulated among the local people). Without drums, the community fire cannot create the warm atmosphere. Gradually, the drum has evolved from a single accompaniment to a performance function, and it has become the Diaogu with dance movements we see today. There is a Jiangu scene on the picture stone of Shuanggou in Xuzhou. Xishan Diaogu is very similar to the Jiangu of the Han Dynasty. Chencang District is located at the western end of the beautiful and rich Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi. It has fertile land, mild climate and rich products. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The "open repair of plank roads and secret crossing of Chencang" in the Chu-Han contention took place here, and the Three Kingdoms Shu-Wei war was also carried out here. This is also one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. Xishan Diaogu has a deep mass base in Xiangquan Town, Chencang District. The local people like this traditional folk culture of the Han nationality very much. During festivals, Xiangquan Village will play Diaogu, mainly with the community fire team for parade performances, and sometimes perform alone. Xishan Diaogu has a unique artistic style. When playing Diaogu, the drummer, the gong beater, and the cymbal player must dress up. The shapes are divided into drummers, monkeys, fan holders, and drum lifters. The props used are: drums, drumsticks; cymbals (cymbals); flat gongs. Due to the peculiar makeup and unique form, the drum is not placed on the ground as usual, but is lifted by two people. Now most of them are placed on the drum stand, so that the drummers compete for and beat each other, so it is called Diaogu. "Diao" means to compete, and it is also called "Monkey Diaoli" locally. During the performance, four people mainly beat the drums, and three or five people form a semicircle or stand in an eight-shaped formation behind the drum to beat the gongs and cymbals for accompaniment. The whole dance is divided into five sections, namely, Diaogu, Two Never Meet, Monkey on the Pole, Drum with Gong, and Cross-legged Drill (locally known as Qiao Nia Shao). The content, form and arrangement of the drums in each section are different, and the drummer's drumming method and rhythm are also different. The five sections are not connected to each other, and each has its own style and characteristics: "Diaogu" is vigorous and steady; "Two Never Meet" is both solemn and humorous; "Monkey on the Pole" is funny and humorous; "Drum with Gong" is free and smooth; "Cross-legged Drill" is warm and lively. The percussion score of Diaogu is called "Virtue Drum". It is divided into seven sections in total. According to each performance, different sections are struck to express different emotions. The common movements of Xishan Diaogu include "the two do not meet each other", that is, after beating the drum for a while, they walk out of the crowd and stand in the middle of the two drums to form a barrier. When the drummers beat a certain beat, they put their hands on their hips and stand in front of and behind the "barrier" in a horse-riding squatting position. As the rhythm of the cymbals and gongs changes, you swing to the right and he swings to the left, you swing to the left and he swings to the right, and they keep crossing or looking at each other from left to right, which is very interesting. Xishan Diaogu is the evolution and inheritance of the ancient Han Dynasty Jiangu dance, which has the characteristics of regionality, uniqueness and uniqueness. As a unique Han drum and music dance form in China, it is an important part of the traditional folk art of the Han people in Shaanxi. It is an intangible cultural heritage protection project of Shaanxi Province.
