Xie Ying Gong and Drum It is said that during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty (around 1837), merchants Xie Wenxuan and Xie Wenyi were doing business abroad. After years of wandering abroad, they heard the performance forms of many local gongs and drums. They summarized the essence of gongs and drums from various places and created gong scores such as "Eighteen Turns" and "Small Five Parts". Fengtai's flower drum lantern "Qupai Gong and Drum" is the most famous for the performance of the gong and drum team of Xieying Village, Liuji Township. According to the calculation of the master-disciple relationship, their history of playing gongs and drums can be traced back to the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty 150 years ago, and it has been passed down for six generations. Qupai Gong and Drum, commonly known as "idle gong and drum" or "Fanzi Gong and Drum", is one of the performance forms of flower drum lantern gongs and drums. It is mostly played to attract audiences when playing lanterns. Gongs and drums played at weddings, burning incense to fulfill vows, and holding babies also belong to this category. Its main feature is that it adopts the only performance form of scoring in the province, that is, the scores of gongs, drums and hairpins are different, and various instruments are practiced individually according to the scores, and then practiced together. The whole piece of music is played with a fixed score, led by the drum, and the subordinate instruments are one gong, two pairs of hairpins, and the dog gong is not limited. It is not allowed to hit one less or one more hammer. It is strictly played according to the fixed score (split score) and the performance must be focused. The whole performance is ups and downs, with strong changes, sonorous and powerful, and unique. The performance is emotional, the rhythm is neat and unified, the gongs and drums rise and fall in an orderly manner, and the changes are orderly. From the sound of the "Fanzi gongs and drums", people can hear the charm of the song and produce wonderful associations. In 1930, Xie Chongli was the first to record Xie Ying's gongs and drums with Chinese homophones. From then on, he practiced playing with the gongs and drums score he recorded. At that time, Xie Ying's gongs and drums successively established four gongs and drums teams. The more influential artists were Wang Laotou, Xie Zhikang, and Xie Shouren, and they have been passed down from generation to generation.
