What is the situation of Zhuang Tonggu? Is there a moral?

The frog ornaments on bronze drums are the third reason for the totem of Zhuang nationality: all ethnic groups always paint or carve their own totems in appropriate places for worship, which is one of the characteristics of totem worship. American Indians erected totem poles as high as 30 feet at the entrance of each village, carved with totem images, and each household was painted with totem marks or placed with totem souvenirs. Indigenous people in Colombia carved totems on the beams of their houses. The Luoluo Yi people in Ailao Mountain painted a big Hei Hu on the temple wall, and so on, all of which are proof. As for the Han people, they are famous for carving dragons and painting phoenixes everywhere in temples, palaces, emperors' crowns and ancient books. Carving three-dimensional frog ornaments on the drum surface is exactly the same as the above example. Furthermore, let's look at other decorations on the bronze drum. "The bronze drums in Guangdong and Guangxi are mainly decorated with Yun Leiwen, which should be a reflection of Lei Yun's worship of nature ...", "It is precisely because they worship Raytheon that the image of Yun Leiwen is regarded as a dominant decoration on the bronze drums", and Yun Leiwen "should be a reflection of the worship of Lei Yun by southern nationalities"; The auspicious pattern of "decorating drums with cranes" is related to the coastal people who have a lot of water work observing clouds and praying for rain, which is a reflection of their worship of water cranes. Since other decorations on bronze drums have their own religious worship concepts, how can frog ornaments be an exception? In addition, frogs are mysterious and influential gods among the ancient Zhuang people. From the above analysis, it can be seen that the bronze drum casting frog originated from the religious concept of primitive totem worship. Conversely, Zhuang people have frog totems in history.
