If you want to buy it, you can go directly to their village to learn. Zhao Jia in Zhaozhong Village, Shicun Town, Guangrao County, Shandong Province is playing drums. 16 opened 1 10 more pages of drum music, including 2 1 sets of local folk drum music that have been circulating for many years, all written by Yang, who went to a private school. Yang told the author that drums have formed a unique style since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with vigorous drums and beautiful rhythm. It has a history of more than 400 years and has been listed in the intangible cultural heritage list of Dongying City. However, in recent years, fewer and fewer people can master and play Zhao drum music systematically and completely. A group of old partners who played drums with him in those years are getting older and older, and their hearing and physical strength are getting worse. If you don't organize them, these drums will be lost. In the autumn of 2000, 67-year-old Yang began to collect and sort out local folk drum music village by village. Up to this year, in the past nine years, 2 1 sets of traditional drum music have been presented to the world, such as Fan Huachuan, Turning Over in Kowloon, Crossing the River with Dragon, Green Lion and Pan Wei. At the same time, the gongs and drums "Ode to Dongying" and "Ode to Guangrao" written by the old man himself were basically completed. In order to keep the original flavor of Zhao drums, Yang sometimes thinks about the beat of drums and even forgets to eat and sleep. His wife told reporters that once when she was eating, she put her rice bowl and chopsticks in front of him, and Yang suddenly remembered the drums, so he couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and knock on the bowl. He came to his senses when his wife advised him to eat quickly. "Old, and old stomach trouble, it's good to enjoy some retirement at home. But he just wouldn't listen and wanted to finish the drum music! " Zhong Zhang said affectionately. Yang not only arranged drum music, but also played drums with his old partners, such as Zhao Laishi, Zhao, Zhao Huitong and other professors. The oldest of them is Zhao, 82 years old, and the youngest is 67 years old. Now, including the drummers of their older generation, no one in the village can play all the 2 1 drums of Zhao Dagu. To this end, since 2005, they have used their spare time in winter every year to open a Zhao drum class in the village cultural compound, teaching the music score and performing arts of gongs and drums voluntarily. Although the young people in the village are busy making money, they can play in their spare time, and few really want to dive down to study, but the enthusiasm of the old people has touched some people. To Yang's delight, there are 12 people in this village of 490 people who have mastered at least 5 sets of drum music.
