The Performance Form of Zhou Jia Suona

There are two forms of Zhou Jia suona. One is marching in procession, and the musicians walk and play in two columns. There is a tuba in front, so they follow, and the formation is the same. This form is mainly used for wedding banquets, temple fairs, guilds, funerals and other dynamic occasions. The other is indoor sitting performance, in which musicians sit around a square table on three sides. There are traditional "five people" and "Eight Immortals Music". This form is mainly suitable for static occasions such as birthdays, giving milk candy to children (children are twelve days old), prayers, temple fairs and sacrifices.
