The performance of Nuo art has gradually changed from entertaining gods to entertaining people, from which we can see the blending of religious culture and secular culture.

Then his left hand beat the drum edge as a board with a drum stick and began to sing. Luo Chun's singing in Pingxiang dialect is closely combined with Pingxiang dialect and has strong local characteristics. With the continuous reform of the spring gong, many new phenomena have appeared in the spring gong, such as the development from solo singing to collective singing, from simple praise to story-telling and from simple accompaniment of gongs and drums to the addition of erhu, pipa, dulcimer, heavy piano and even suona accompaniment. Spring gongs have a solid mass base in Pingxiang and are deeply loved by the people. This has brought vitality to the creation of Spring Palace, and won awards in different performances before and after, and achieved gratifying results. Not only Nuo and Spring Gong are famous, but also Pingxiang's other folk arts, such as lanterns, colorful tea operas, Tian Ge, lotus flowers, drums, flowers, gongs and drums, peasant paintings and so on.
