In the Qin and Han Dynasties, with the opening of the Silk Road, cultural exchanges between China and the West became increasingly frequent. Northern drumming gradually absorbed elements of Western music and formed a unique style. The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of the development of northern drumming. At that time, northern drumming had reached a very high level of skill and became an important part of court music. After the Song Dynasty, northern drumming gradually became popular among the people and became an important performance form in folk activities such as temple fairs and social fires in various places.
