The Chaoshan region is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on the other side. People have long cast their sights on the vast ocean. They ride the wind to control the sea and engage in maritime trade. Nowadays, Chaoshan people are scattered in every corner of the world. They cherish the foundation and unity of their family, and this newly created Chaozhou gong and drum song "Gathering" in recent years is their voice.
The sound of gongs and drums filled the sky, releasing the joy of family and friend reunion with high spirits. Everyone shook off the dust and cheerfully exclaimed, "We are all our own people," hugging and worshipping our ancestors together. Afterwards, the elegant flute set music tells the story of deep emotions, and relatives and friends from all over the world gather together to reminisce about the past and reminisce about their hometown. The scenes of the past echo in front of them. With the stirring sound of the heartstrings, the suona choked back the tears of joy. In the end, the gongs and drums gradually rose, becoming stronger and stronger as they struck, sounding like a bell, breaking off the love between children and women, showcasing the inspiring power of courage. With the beautiful strings, they sang a song of comfort, said a word of cherish, and set off again.
