Expanded Information

Harvest gongs and drums were conceived and multiplied in local folklore. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the father of Cheng Kaixue, the first inheritor of the "harvest gongs and drums" (Xiaowufan), was working as a drummer in a small folk troupe, but returned home to his family to work as a farmer because of the war and the disaster. When the war broke out, he returned home to work as a farmer, and there was a famine, so he took his family along with him and begged for money along the way with his gongs and drums. After the war, he returned to his hometown and began to organize his drums, which were initially called "Harvest Drums and Drums" (Xiao Wu Fan).

Nowadays, the number of performers has increased to dozens, and the proportion of drums, gongs, cymbals and cymbals has been increased, so that the sound effect is more prominent. The method of playing is that the drums command, the gongs play, and the cymbals and cymbals play alternately. Secondly, the tune is cheerful. The songs of "Harvest Drums and Gongs" are not only independent, but also linked together in a set.
