China is the hometown of drums. The Book of Songs records that "beating drums is so loud, and soldiers are jumping for battle". The Zuo Zhuan describes "beating drums with a stick". When the ancients offered sacrifices, they "used drums to drive away evil spirits". In daily life, they also "beat drums to report the shift". These records show that drums were used in my country very early and were closely related to the lives of working people. The history of Jianqiao drums is long, and the long-standing drum culture passed down from generation to generation remains in the ancient city of Linhai. The Jianqiao drums in Jianqiao Village still retain the traditional family workshop style, and the custom of passing on the title to the son-in-law but not the daughter-in-law, and passing it to the son but not the daughter-in-law remains. The traditional production process of Jianqiao drums is cumbersome and long. Generally, it takes 67 months to make a large drum. The process is as follows: First, select materials, select high-quality pine, camphor or neem wood, saw them into arcs according to the size of the drum, and dry the wood to surround the drum body. Second, select the skin. Choose high-quality cowhide or sheepskin, soak it in a pond to remove the hair, and then scrape it to a uniform thickness. Third, cover the drum skin. First press the skin on both ends of the drum body, pull it with a stick and rope to make the leather surface flat and tight, and fix it with copper nails and iron nails. Fourth, paint. First wrap the drum body with gauze, then apply cement and glue to it, and polish and paint it after it dries. Jianqiao Village can now produce more than ten kinds of large drums, tooth drums, hand drums, waist drums, peddler drums, war drums, big drums, and row drums. The largest one has a diameter of 3.35 meters and a height of 2.65 meters. The traditional drum-making culture has been carried forward. In June 2007, the Jianqiao drum-making technique was included in the second batch of Zhejiang Province's intangible cultural heritage list. The inheritors include Dong Pizu, Dong Xianchun, Dong Renpu, Dong Renzhuo and others.
