Representative of provincial intangible cultural heritage: Qianjiang Suona Suona is one of the most representative musical genres in Qianjiang. Suona artists, called "drummers" by Qianjiang people, were once spread all over Qianjiang. According to the recollections of old artists, suona has been popular in Qianjiang for more than 200 years. Rural families have to invite suona bands to their homes for weddings and funerals to make it lively. Qianjiang suona has long and short parts, which can be subdivided into "big trumpet", "medium trumpet" and "small trumpet". The way Qianjiang suona is spread is mainly through master-apprentice, oral transmission and memory, and traditional gongche notation is often used. Suona performances are mostly accompanied by percussion instruments, and rural areas generally form "drummer bands" that can be freely combined. Suona playing is based on local folk minor music, with high-pitched and loud rhymes, cheerful rhythms, and is good at expressing warm and unrestrained scenes and emotions of great joy and great sorrow. The blowing and beating of suona and gongs and drums respond to each other, and the lips and teeth fit together, forming a whole. The suona has a rich variety of tunes, including nearly 30 tunes such as Mantanghong, Qingshuilian, Jiejiegao, Xiaokaimen, and more than 50 small tunes. Different tunes are played according to the atmosphere of different occasions. The production, melody notation, fingering, breathing and modulation of the local suona all have a strong Qianjiang flavor and are an important model for studying the traditional folk music of the Jianghan Plain. There are different tunes and modulations for weddings and funerals, and there is a strict distinction in the performance, which can fully express people's emotions and wishes and contain rich Chu cultural heritage.
