Sichuan opera singing is divided into soft scenes and hard scenes. The soft scenes are accompanied by suona, bamboo flute, huqin, and cover boards, and the hard scenes are accompanied by percussion instruments such as small drums, small gongs, two drums, big drums, and big gongs. In contrast, the percussion instruments of Anxian Sichuan opera are the most distinctive. In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, when performing Sichuan opera in urban and rural areas of Anxian, artists would use percussion instruments to create a lively atmosphere, adjust the stage rhythm, and set off the fate of the characters. Joy, anger, sorrow, wind, clouds, thunder and lightning, rivers, lakes, seas, and mountains and rivers can all be expressed vividly through clever music design and appropriate melodies, so there is a saying that "three parts singing and seven parts beating". "To play the three-board drum, you can't do without five or seven people" (five to seven people). Sometimes there are not enough people, and some masters can play two instruments at the same time. After the peaceful liberation of Anxian, it is still circulated in major local towns and is now endangered.
