Qujiaying Concert was built between Yongle in the Ming Dynasty and Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. What can be verified is a "Tianping" destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. This "Tianping" is a kind of tent used when the concert is held, and the words are embroidered on the side: Since the meeting, it has been unknown for several years, and it will be lost in Jiaqing, and some people support it. Accordingly, Qu Jiaying's concert existed in the middle of Qing Dynasty. So far, the concert has been continued for five times. The third, fourth and fifth editions of the spectrum were in the third year of Xianfeng (1853), the 37th year of the Republic of China (1948) and 198, respectively, and these three versions are still intact.
Qu Jiaying's concert was brilliant several times in history: during the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, the concert was invited to the palace, and Kangxi gave a dragon and a phoenix flag on each side, a yellow umbrella, two sheng, an 8-hole jade pipe and two flutes, of which 8-hole jade pipes have been used to this day; After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the concert had its second heyday, with musicians full of tents, double sets of musical instruments and complete score. After the reform and opening up, the concert entered a period of rapid development. Since 1984, the Music Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Art has regularly sent experts to give guidance and support, and held the "First National Symposium on Drumming Art" in Gu 'an. In 1987, the concert went to Beijing Conservatory of Music and participated in cultural exchange performances in the Asia-Pacific region, which caused a great shock in the music industry and was unanimously affirmed by experts at home and abroad. Experts and scholars from more than ten countries, including the United States, Britain, Australia and Japan, came to Qujiaying for study. In 2, the concert won the silver prize of the national "Stars Award" and the special prize of the Music Competition for Celebrating the 5th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China in Hebei Province. Qu Jiaying's concert respected Shi Kuang as the founder and took Confucianism as the authentic one. It experienced three crises in Xianfeng three years in Qing Dynasty, during the Anti-Japanese War and during the Cultural Revolution. After several generations of musicians and villagers gave their lives to help each other, music scores and musical instruments were preserved.
The band is a fixed organization, with 24 musicians playing "full-shed" music and 12 musicians playing "half-shed" music. The notation method is completely the ancient "work-ruler" music, and the teaching method is oral and heart-to-heart. Scholars must memorize all the music cards before they can touch the musical instruments. Due to different performance occasions, the band arrangement can be divided into two types: sitting music and playing music. During the concert, musicians sit around a long table, with wind music on both sides of the long table, and cloud gongs and other percussion music at both ends of the long table. When playing percussion ensemble alone, the musicians form an arc with the drum in the middle, and two sets of cymbals, cymbals, clankers and cymbals sit on both sides of the drum. When having fun, the band is in two columns, the order is: flag, flute, sheng, pipe, cymbals, cymbals and drums, and no bells are needed when having fun.
Qujiaying music, as one of the most intact ancient music in China, has 13 divertimentos, such as Jade Lotus and Youjuntang, 7 large-scale songs, such as Jin Zijing and Seeking Military Orders, and more than 2 ditties and a set of percussion music, such as Five Sacred Buddhas and Three Treasures. The music has a strong religious color, and it is a solemn and elegant percussion music that combines monks, Taoists and Confucianism. The divertimento "Puan Mantra" is the product of the incantation of the Pu 'an teacher in the Southern Song Dynasty. This divertimento played in the concert is about two centuries earlier than the piano piece of the same name that was seen in the world in 1592. In 26, Qujiaying ancient music was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage protection project.
