A brief introduction to Southwest Shandong drum music

Applicant: Mudan District, Heze City, Shandong Province

Southwest Shandong drum music is a major branch of North China's drum music. It is mainly distributed in Heze, Jining and Zaozhuang counties (districts) in Southwest Shandong Province, especially in Mudan District, Juye County, Shan county and juancheng County of Heze City. The history of advocacy art in Southwest Shandong can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. The Wu clan ancestral hall in Jiaxiang was built in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty stone portraits in the ancestral hall vividly depict the scene of the performance of advocacy music at that time.

Southwest Shandong percussion music is composed of wind and percussion music. According to the performance function, it can be divided into general percussion music, sacrificial music and worship music. The performance form mainly includes marching performance and sitting performance. Suona is the most important instrument in drum music. Its common techniques include overtone, finger flower sound, beat sound, pad sound, air arch sound, air top sound, flower sound, slide sound, etc. The percussion music repertoire of Southwest Shandong has a long history. There are not only Zaju Qupai since Song and Yuan Dynasties, but also a large number of Ming and Qing Xiaoqu, among which the representative repertoire are "a hundred birds to the Phoenix", "lift the sedan chair", "dahetao", "dadiziao", "yizhihua", "suonanzhi".
