What are the manifestations of waist drum?

The performance forms of waist drum can be roughly divided into "road drum" and "field drum".

"Road Drum" is a performance form of waist drum team jumping while walking. It is led by two umbrella heads, followed by a dance team composed of drums and flowers.

Behind the umbrella head, there is a drummer named "Reuters Drummer". He must be a skilled drummer, and the movement changes and rhythm of the whole team are urgent and slow, so he is responsible for unification.

Behind the parade, there are clowns dressed as barbarians and barbarians, as well as the Monkey King and Pig Bajie who are dressed as Tang Priest to learn from the scriptures, twisting and teasing at will to add festive atmosphere.

Because the "road drum" is performed on the road, it is generally simple, with a small amplitude, and it often does "stride", "walk" and "walk around the waist".

Commonly used formations are "single crossing", "double crossing", "single dragon wagging its tail" and "double dragon wagging its tail".

"Field drum" refers to the performance form after the waist drum team arrives at the performance site and opens the venue. At first, the umbrella head waved an umbrella order, and immediately drums and music sounded, and dancers danced with the umbrella head.
