It was developed from the interpretation of ancient drum music. Emperor Minghuang of Tang (Xuanzong Li Longji) introduced folk gong and drum music into the palace, composed music based on palace poems and songs, and wrote it on wooden signs for reference during performance, hence the name "Paizi gong and drum". Later, Emperor Minghuang of Tang named the composer "Laolang" and stipulated that March 18th of the lunar calendar was the "Laolang" memorial day. After that, the Paizi gong and drum spread from the palace to the people, and were mostly used in ceremonies such as weddings, funerals, birthday celebrations, and sacrifices. The Paizi gong and drum consisted of a large gong, a large drum, a large cymbal, a small gong, a horse gong, and two suonas, and was played by 7 people. Later, the large gong, large drum, and large cymbal were changed to Beijing gong, small hall drum, and Beijing cymbals, and a large trumpet, a cushion cymbal, and a bell were added, and 10 people played. When playing, it was accompanied by lyrics, with ups and downs in the voice, rigorous levels, and pleasant to the ears. Xinzhou District now has more than 200 sets of Paizi gongs and drums, with nearly 2,000 artists. It has established a "Paizi Gongs and Drums" Association and "Paizi Gongs and Drums Teams" throughout the district. Features: Xinzhou's Paizi gongs and drums are divided by the Jushui River that runs through the entire area, forming two major schools of east and west with different styles. The Dongluzi Paizi gongs and drums to the east of the Jushui River have deep and rich tones and slow and natural rhythms; the Xiluzi folk blowing and beating to the west are delicate and euphemistic, elegant and graceful, with bright and lively rhythms. Expert comment: The Paizi gongs and drums with a long history have been passed down in Xinzhou to this day. Gongs and drums teams are spread all over urban and rural areas. A protection association has also been established, which has collected and organized 161 sets of blowing scores, 83 sets of beating scores, and 98 sets of ci cards. They are rich in historical information and practical value and should be further protected and carried forward. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.) (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
