Folk gongs and drums formula spectrum book

In order to fully and accurately reflect the sound rhythm and combination structure contained in each set of gongs and drums, it must be recorded in the form of branch joint spectrum. The score of this record is called "Gong and Drum Score".

There are roughly three kinds of existing books on gongs and drums:

(1) gongs and drums written in Chinese characters.

② Simple scores of gongs and drums with Latin letters as notes.

③ Branch percussion score.

In earlier years, these formulas were written in Chinese characters that simulated the sound of musical instruments. Due to the differences of times, regions, musical instruments and musical instruments, various sounds and characters are also different. For example, the words "Xing, Tang, Pu, Da, Ge, Shao, Tong" were used in the top ten gongs and drums in Yangzhou in the early Qing Dynasty (Li Dou's Record of Yangzhou Paintings); In Sichuan, New Year's gongs and drums use the words "winter, collapse, building and village".

In the 1920s and 1930s, these pictophonetic characters were combined with modern music notation to write musical forms, such as winter collapse, winter collapse and winter collapse. Louloulou | Zhuang Zhuang | Zhuang Zhuang | and so on. In addition, in the past, symbols such as "○ (gong solo), × (cymbal solo) and ○ (gong and cymbal playing together)" were often used to record music, but there was no uniform standard.

In 1950s, Chinese phonetic alphabet appeared instead of phonetic notation, such as K (Kuang, Gong solo or Gong, Gong and cymbal played together), Q (Qi, cymbal solo or cymbal and cymbal played together), T (Taiwan, Xiao Gong solo), bd (eight-dozen, drum double number played successively) and so on. In recent years, there have been gongs and drums recorded in the form of scores.
