It is said that Jiangzhou drum music originated in the pre Qin Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to Zhili's Jiangzhou annals, "when I was old, I was in the country. In summer and winter, I was in the rainy season, and there were many incense fires in the villages and towns. I acted as a drum and acted as a drama." "Xinjiang county annals" also said: "every time the competition period, will play for several days, play all kinds of stories, such as gongs and drums and so on."
