In the past, every time we worked in June and defended the tea mountain in August of the lunar calendar, we used to sing "hoe mountain drum", which is a kind of song sung during collective labor. The drummer's back is round and the drummer's side is round. He holds the mallet with both hands. He beats the lead singer, and everyone sings in harmony. He talks about the past and the present in an impromptu and humorous way. He can adjust the working mood of the masses and improve work efficiency. The melody of "Chushan drum" is fresh and simple, rough and fluent. It has two modes of "Zheng" and "Yu". The ending tone falls to the corner.
