Xiangshan Shooting Drum is based on the ancient music of Xi 'an, which has a relationship with Tang Daqu. This song is based on the famous song of the Tang Dynasty "Liu Qingniang" as the tone, and "Yueergao", "Xiangshan Archigu" and other four music.

In 1980, Qu Yun, the creator, combined his experience of following Xi 'an drum artists to the Zhongnan Mountain of the Qinling Mountains to worship the Buddha, and composed this piece "Xiangshan Archdrum", which blends the playing skills of Shaanxi Qin Zheng with the charm of Shaanxi local opera. At the beginning of the introduction, it is a string of empty overtones, as if the depths of the white clouds, the van sound of the empty mountain, the artistic mood is clear and faint, and then the rhythm is slow and fast, and the left hand is accompanied by a regular, showing the bustle of the incense meeting in the mountain. With a deep and restrained spiritual temperament, the whole song conveys the purity and piety of worshiping Buddha. Until the end of the song, "the beads are broken with a thousand beats, and the knife is cut off with one sound", which is a kind of termination in Tang music: that is, after many rapid beats, the phrase is abruptly stopped, and then the final sentence of the music is continued. The valley is quiet and the drums are noisy, and this quiet movement is incisively and vividly expressed in the Zheng music, which complements each other.
