Pingxiang Lianhualuo (the third provincial level) Pingxiang Lianhualuo is also called Da Lianhua. It is popular among local people for its brisk rhythm, vivid and humorous language, simple and flexible singing style, and unique singing style. Pingxiang City Annals and Pingxiang Culture and Art Annals both record that "Pingxiang Lianhualuo began in the Song Dynasty. It was originally sung by poor people when begging. Professional artists appeared in the late Jiaqing period after the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (before 1821). Pingxiang Lianhualuo is performed by one person and others join in. The lead singer holds the lotus castanets (a half bamboo tube about 2 inches wide with 4-5 copper coins strung on it) in his left hand and swings them to make a "shata, shata" sound, while he beats the drum with his right hand to create a rhythm and set off the atmosphere of the singing. The lyrics are mainly seven-character sentences, but there are also long and short sentences, with one rhyme for every two sentences or one rhyme for every article. It can be sung or chanted during the performance, with singing and counting, and singing, chanting and counting matched together, which is flexible, agile, beautiful and pleasant to listen to. The music consists of two parts: the main counting and the trailing tune. The main counting is sung in Pingxiang's local dialect, which is like chanting and singing, and the voice and singing are very consistent. The last sentence of each count and article is added with a trailing tune, which is generally joined by a chorus. The melody of the chorus is particularly beautiful, with ups and downs, and the "fa" sounds are repeated, which is joyful, bright and has an endless aftertaste.
