The drum is one of the top ten musical instruments in ancient China.
In ancient times, the drum was revered as a musical instrument that reached the sky, mainly as a sacrificial instrument; in hunting and expedition activities, the drum was widely used.
The drum has been used as a musical instrument since the Zhou Dynasty. In the Zhou Dynasty, there were eight tones, and the drum was the leader of the group. The so-called "drum and qin se" in ancient literature means that the drum sound is used as a guide before the qin se is played. The cultural connotation of the drum is broad and profound. The majestic drum sound closely accompanies the human beings, and the ancient barbarians are gradually moving towards civilization.
