Songzi Says Drum

Drum artists make a living by talking and singing along the door. Initially, only one person played drums and talked without singing or accompaniment. Because of the impact of simple storytelling, it is declining day by day. Just in time for the northward movement of Suona to the south, Zhao Chengyun, a storyteller, cooperated with Jiang Xuexin, a Suona performer, to transform the form of storytelling. Tangmu was replaced by Tanggu, and a line or two was added at the end of the commentary. Suona was accompanied by a line or two at the end of the commentary. It was novel and unique, making the form of expression more flexible and gradually developed into two-person singing: 1. People play drums and storytellers, while one plays suona accompaniment, and interrupts with the storyteller to answer questions. Suonaqu cards include "wave of water", "six-character tune" and "compassion". Music can be divided into two categories, namely, playing brand songs and singing tunes.
