Zhijiang folk wind and percussion music is a genre of folk instrumental music played by combining percussion instruments, string instruments, and suona. Among them, percussion instruments include drums (big drums, hall drums, board drums, book drums, war drums, etc.), bangzi (wooden fish, wooden bangs, bamboo bangs, etc.), gongs (big gongs, small gongs, Su gongs, horse gongs, Beijing gongs, cloud gongs, tiger sound gongs, etc.), cymbals (big cymbals, small cymbals, Sichuan cymbals, small Beijing cymbals), etc., string instruments include erhu, Beijing hu, four strings, etc., suona includes high-pitched suona and alto suona, and there are also instruments such as tuba. Commonly used repertoires include "Mountain Song Tune", "Six-Character Flow Board", "Zhenggong Flow Board", "Spring Comes", "Wannian Huan", etc. After years of development and evolution, Zhijiang folk wind and percussion music has formed a common, practical, and highly regional performance custom. It is mainly played in folk weddings and funerals, various celebrations, labor and seasonal festivals to match folk art forms such as dance. Zhijiang folk wind and percussion music is divided into "rough music" played by a combination of percussion instruments and "fine music" in which suona, flute, erhu, jinghu and other wind and string instruments are mixed in the performance of percussion instruments. Rough music is also called Wuchang, and fine music is also called Wenchang. According to the art school, Zhijiang folk wind and percussion music is divided into Shanghe (also known as Jinghe) and Xiahe schools; according to the region, it is divided into Nanhe and Beihe. Zhijiang folk wind and percussion music pays attention to the complete combination of ten "family businesses" (instruments), while absorbing local folk music elements such as Zhijiang folk songs, field songs, five sentences, and minor tunes, forming the technical types and styles of "Shiban drums", which have strong local characteristics. After several ups and downs in the development process, although Zhijiang folk wind and percussion music has been endangered several times, it has been well inherited and protected with the efforts of local governments and cultural departments, and has become a wonderful flower of folk music art in southwestern Hubei. In 2000, Zhijiang City was officially named "China's Folk Art Hometown" and "Folk Wind and Percussion Music Hometown" by the Ministry of Culture.
