jiangu

Jiangu (Pinyin: Jiàn gǔ), anciently known as Foot Drum, Jin Drum, Ying Drum, Zhi Drum, and Hanging Drum. The Mongolian, Manchu, Han and other nationalities play musical instruments that strike the membrane. It was used by the palaces of all dynasties. It is popular in lama monasteries in Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Qinghai and other provinces and regions and the vast areas of the Han nationality. The Jiangu in the Lama monastery in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has a wooden drum body, a short and round drum body, a drum length of 20 cm, and a diameter of 30 cm at both ends. When playing indoors, insert the wooden column that runs straight through the drum body into the wooden base, and play with both hands; when playing outdoors, hold the wooden column with the left hand and play with the single hammer with the right hand.
