When the army was ordered to act and attack, it beat the drum, that is, to attack, and when the army was ordered to stop or return, it hit Zheng, that is, to call the gold to stop. The practice of beating drums to attack and singing golden drums to stop soldiers was basically common in various dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, sometimes golden drums would sing together.
