Sheepskin drum (dance): In Baique Temple, Heyeba, Hengxian River, Matiwan, Baishuijiang and other places in Lueyang County, there is a folk dance sheepskin drum with the cultural color of the Diqiang people. Sheepskin drum dance is inseparable from sheepskin drum, which is an accompaniment instrument in dance performances and a specific prop, forming the unique style and rhythm of sheepskin drum dance. Sheepskin drum is made of sheepskin covered on a fan-shaped or peach-shaped iron ring, and many small iron rings (mostly eight or twelve) are tied to the handle of the iron ring to make a single-sided drum that can be danced. It is the "peng, cha" sound produced by hitting the drum surface with a rattan whip and shaking the iron ring, which constitutes the dance rhythm and rich and varied drum beats. Usually, it is performed by two men. The performer holds the drum in his left hand and the rattan whip in his right hand, beating and dancing, and the "bang bang" sound of the rattan whip hitting the drum and the "cha cha" sound of the iron ring colliding, accompanied by high-pitched singing and rough and passionate dance, form a unique and unique charm. Before the performance, the dancers beat the drum on the spot, which plays a role in brewing emotions, setting off the atmosphere and attracting the audience. During the performance, the drum sound is also the prelude and accompaniment of the dance singing, and at the same time provides a distinct rhythm for the dance. The fixed drum beats include soft three waists, hard three waists, pheasant pounces, stealing points, cow scratching, etc. The basic movements include warding off the drum, rubbing the hemp nest, single-leg jump, phoenix 0 head, line climbing, warding off the star god, hook leg jump, etc. There are two characteristics of singing music: one is that it adopts the traditional Chinese pentatonic mode, which is mostly fine-tuned with "5" as the main tone; the other is that the melody is mostly downward, with the highest note of the whole song appearing at the beginning, and then descending rapidly. Some of the music is in a wave-like manner, but the general direction is still downward, giving people a sense of ups and downs. Sheepskin drum dance is a form of performance used by the "Duangong" (a kind of witch) in the Qinba Mountain area in the old days when performing folk sacrificial activities. The tunes generally played include "Li Wumen", "Jia Zi", "Jia Xue Zi", "Ying Chun Shen", "Wu Tan", "Monkey Rebellion Against the Heavenly Dynasty", "Four Red Points", "Twelve Flowers", "Jiudaogou", etc. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
