Xi'an Drum Music is one of the most important genres in Chinese traditional music. It is a type of Chinese traditional 'wind and percussion music' popular in the urban and rural areas of Xi'an, Shaanxi, and along the foothills of the Zhongnan Mountains. Originating in the Tang Dynasty, emerging in the Song Dynasty, flourishing during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and reaching its peak in the Qing Dynasty, its exact historical origins are not precisely recorded. However, its musical notation, instruments, performance forms, and tune names have deep roots in ancient Chinese music, particularly the court music of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Therefore, Xi'an Drum Music is often referred to as a 'living fossil' of ancient Chinese music.
This event invites an expert in Xi'an Drum Music research to serve as the artistic guide. They will provide an accessible introduction to the characteristics of Xi'an Drum Music and offer commentary on the features of each piece performed, allowing the audience to experience this unique local culture.
