Shanghai style gongs and drums are a type of gong and drum music that combines the local traditional gongs and drums of Shanghai with the gong and drum schools of the north, such as the Weifeng gongs and drums, Taiyuan gongs and drums, and Jiangzhou gongs and drums. Gong and drum music was once widely used in Shanghai folk music. Whether it was weddings and funerals, festivals and temple fairs, or folk dances, amusement and juggling, percussion instruments were used to set the atmosphere and express people's joy. Shanghai's gong and drum music includes the ten-part gongs and drums popular in Jiangnan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the gongs and drums of Beijing and Kunqu operas. It should be of the same origin as the ten-part gongs and drums of Southern Jiangsu, but it has its own characteristics in terms of repertoire, music structure, performance style and musical style. This is the evolution of the ten-part gongs and drums during the spread of the music. According to its performance characteristics of "light beating and fine knocking", the music genre was named "Shanghai Ten-part gongs and drums". Shanghai Ten-part gongs and drums are spread in Chongming, Shanghai, Jiading, Baoshan and other counties in the suburbs of the city. Later, with the development of Shanghai, especially the construction of Baosteel, metallurgical construction units from all over the country gathered in Baoshan, Shanghai, and a large number of people from the northern region entered. They brought local excellent drums to Shanghai, which brought new changes to the music style and performance form of Shanghai's local gongs and drums. After continuous innovation and exploration, a novel "Shanghai-style gongs and drums" was finally formed. The special feature of Shanghai-style gongs and drums is that they are inclusive. Excellent gongs and drums from all over the country, especially the artistic elements of Jiangzhou gongs and drums and Weifeng gongs and drums, have been absorbed in Shanghai-style gongs and drums and evolved into a new artistic style; in terms of form, it has gone from the original countryside and festive occasions to the performance stage, and has made great improvements in stage design, lighting, props and costumes, and even in the performance repertoire, and has developed into a special stage performance art. While inheriting the authentic and original national art style of China, it also cleverly uses artistic means that keep pace with the times to recreate traditional drum music.
