In particular, 1 species should be briefly described. Spring gongs-Pingxiang is the most distinctive. Spring gongs originated in the late Qing Dynasty and prevailed among the people, Pingxiang and neighboring counties (cities) such as Yichun, Wanzai, Liuyang and Liling. The artist tied a small drum with a diameter of 15 cm with red silk, and hung a small gong with a diameter 2-3 cm larger than that of the drum. Drums and gongs have been used as doors, and people go door to door to announce the arrival of spring during the Spring Festival. The lyrics are mostly 7 words and 2 rhymes per sentence, and the language is authentic Pingxiang dialect, which is popular and affectionate. The tracks are all short stories, mostly praise (praise what you see). After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the content of lyrics expanded to current events, stories, family planning, new people and new things, and the length expanded to medium-length, with erhu and other musical instruments in form, which was more beautiful and deeply loved by the masses, and became one of the important programs of various literary evening performances. The new songs "Toast", "Spring in the Millennium", "Seeing Zan", "A clever daughter-in-law with an old mandarin duck" and "Xiyingmen" have been recorded as CDs and distributed over 50,000 copies. They are popular for a while and can arouse the homesickness of Pingxiang compatriots at home and abroad. They are welcome gifts from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots at home and abroad and Pingxiang compatriots.
