Hanjiang Chegu, formerly known as "Cymbal Drum", is a unique folk percussion instrument in Hanjiang. Legend has it that since the "Buddha begging for grass" in the Song Dynasty, every year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, children beat gongs and drums to beg for firewood to warm the feet of the Buddha, which indicates that life will be more prosperous in the coming year. It consists of a cowhide drum with a diameter of nearly 1 meter, dozens of pairs of large cymbals with a diameter of 0.5 meters, several flat gongs and a convex navel gong known as the "boy circle". When the chegu is beaten, it is directed by the big drum. The drum beats are natural and round, the cymbals sound crisp and sonorous, and the gong sounds are harmonious and pleasant, sometimes high and fierce, sometimes melodious and smooth, and sometimes deep and implicit. The drummers, cymbal players, and gong players are dressed in battle clothes, with hero scarves on their heads, warrior tassels, hero knots on their waists, powder-bottomed boots on their feet, tight sleeves and leg wraps, and colorful clothes, free and unpretentious, completely like a soldier's demeanor. There are two forms of performance of chegu: one is the performance during marching, the whole team is arranged in an orderly manner, performing while moving forward, and interspersed with dance movements accompanied by rhythm changes; the other is the square performance, the cymbal player dances while beating, and forms various shapes with the ups and downs of the rhythm, fully reflecting the tiger, fierce and wild strength of the chegu, making the audience dazzled. The drum formation is arranged in an orderly manner, magnificent, vigorous and vigorous, and passionate. A skilled drummer can play more than a dozen drum beats. With the rise and fall of the drumstick, he hits the edge of the drum, the heart of the drum, and the drum gang. It is sometimes as fast as a meteor, and sometimes as slow as flowing water. It keeps changing patterns, with softness in hardness and hardness in softness, which is interesting. The gong player holds a large cymbal weighing more than ten pounds in each hand, pulls in the abdomen and holds the chest, flies up and down, and beats a rhythmic rhythm. Hanjiang chegu is popular among the people. In the Ming Dynasty, "grass gongs and drums" developed and grew, and the drum beats were unified, forming a certain set of musical instruments, called "cymbal gongs and drums". Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the drum surface became larger and larger, and it needed two people to carry it. After liberation, the roads became wider and wider, and it was more convenient to install the drum on the car, and it was renamed "car drum". Hanjiang men, women, old and young all play car drums. Almost every street neighborhood committee and natural village has a car drum team. There are more than 260 car drum teams in the district. They use car drums to celebrate harvests, happy events, welcome gods, hold competitions, and receive distinguished guests. To this day, Hanjiang car drum team performances are still spread all over the city and countryside, and it is an important folk cultural activity.
