The ancient Chinese Zhuang musical instrument 'Bronze Drum'
It is a percussion instrument with a long history and profound cultural significance. The bronze drum originated in the early Spring and Autumn period, about 2700 years ago. It was originally created by the Pu people in the central and western regions of Yunnan Province. Initially used as a cooking utensil and copper pot, it gradually evolved into a percussion instrument and eventually became a symbol of power and wealth. It occupies a pivotal position in Zhuang culture and is regarded as a precious heavy vessel, with similar symbolic significance to the cauldron in the Central Plains region. Not only is it a cultural heritage of the Zhuang ethnic group, but it has also become a cultural symbol shared by multiple ethnic groups. Its casting techniques were revived in the 1990s, and the bronze drum culture was inherited and developed.
