Legend has it that in this battle, Wang Qi made Zhang Jinshan, the grandson of Zhang Marizi, become the flag officer again, and during the year of the fortified wall, the war drum guards secretly trained a group of warriors who could fly over the wall and were good at kung fu to prepare for the future siege of the city. In the war against Chu, he showed great magic. After each siege of the city, these warriors who infiltrated the city took the opportunity to climb the city tower, tear down the banner of the Chu State, and replace it with the Qin Battle Flag to disturb the hearts of the Chu Army. At this moment, the drums of the battle suddenly sounded under the city, and the sound of fighting with the soldiers in blood and bravely played a symphony of victory.
Zhengyang Town, Weicheng District, Xianyang City, has a long history of the village. Legend has it that someone in the village served as the flag officer in the Qin Wu'an Junbai army, and brought the war drums and drums of the troops marching back to their hometown, and the village has since had a tradition of loving drums and fighting good drums for generations, which has been passed down to this day, and the villagers are proud of beating the Qin and Han war drums and proud to have the Qin and Han war drums. Every New Year's Festival, festive days, praying for rain, worshiping ancestors, greeting gods, worshiping gods, sending gods and other grand activities, villagers use Qin and Han war drums to play music. The inheritors of traditional national culture do not engage in hereditary inheritance or elections, but rely on inheritance. "Passing on" is the master's teaching, "inheritance" is to learn from the master, learn skills, learn personal virtues, and the Qin and Han war drums, like other traditional national cultures, have been inherited from generation to generation to this day.
The "Qin and Han War Drums" are spread among the people, which are longer than the folk and are traditional national cultures. Guanzhong has a rich history. The culture gathered by nature and history is integrated into the blood of the Qin people, forming a strong, realistic, thick and simple atmosphere of the Guanzhong people, and the Great Qin War Drum is a typical representative. Huang Jianmin, the inheritor of the Great Qin War Drum, according to the oral teachings of the older generation, looked up a large number of materials, visited the previous generation of artists, and wrote down the current Great Qin War Drum, the Expedition Song (also called slow three fires, mighty and majestic. ), battle song (also called tight three fires, also called duck mixing mouth, compact and fierce, lined up in the mountains and seas. ), Triumphal Song (also called no hurry, no slow fire, unrestrained and cheerful. In front of the trilogy, there are flowing water tones, the lineup is as little as thirty or fifty people, more than hundreds of people, all wearing ancient soldier costumes, there are handsome flags behind the main drum, there are several side drums next to it, hundreds of gongs follow the drum tune ups and downs, and there are locks and horse bells to accompany. Behind the main drum, a large banner with the character "Qin" was raised high, and the military flag was swung open with the drum array. The main drum arrays are: three-star array, five-star array, seven-star array, Bagua array, etc. (the formation is determined according to the number of people appearing).
On the morning of September 15, 2010, I and 48 Qin-Han war drummers rode to the city of Weinan and South Korea to participate in the first national gong and drum competition of China's "Sima Qian Cup". It was a team of farmers who made their own clothes at their own expense, and no one paid a penny bonus. In the next two days, I got up at 4 o'clock every day, ate breakfast at 4:30, drove to Hancheng Stadium at six o'clock, and waited under the scorching sun until 16 o'clock the next day. The Qin and Han war drums took the stage to perform, the drums sounded loudly, and the heroic star chaser shook the earth; the unstoppable moon tower, the mighty and mighty ground, surging and surging; the soaring sky of the changhong swept through the mountains and the sea. The Prancing Horse raises its whip, there is a sense of tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, the two wings soar into the sky, the soldiers suppress the situation, looking back at the Big Dipper, the black cloud destroys the city. The sound of the trumpet of the 100,000-strong army building the Great Wall is expressed with the flowing water, the running sound of the warhorse is expressed with the sound of the scream, and the fierce fighting and fighting on the battlefield is expressed with the string of bells. Drums, gongs, gongs, bells, and chants are intertwined, showing fierce and spectacular battle scenes that make people feel excited. The army is mighty, full of pride, morale, and confidence. This is the oldest gong and drum team made up of peasant artists with a minimum age of 45 and a maximum of 73 years old. Played at a high level, although not in the top ten, achieved a score of 92.4 points. Won the Best Team Award. At the end of the performance, Huang Jianmin walked to the front of the stage, knelt on his knees, prostrated his head to the audience three times, tears filled his eyes, I know the feelings of this drum fan, thank you very much for the organizing committee to bear all the costs of the Qin and Han war drum competition, thank the audience on the spot, and also thank their team members for their strong support for themselves.
The thing that Huang Jianmin's wife is most afraid of is that Huang Jianmin goes out to play drums, because the family has to spend money again. In his free time, he often went out to take photos and videos of the performance of Qin and Han war drums, and also went to Huang Jianmin's home, and talked cordially with Huang Jianmin's drum friends: Li Wenhai, Zhang Shucheng, Chen Xuexue, Liu Huangxin, and also admired the drumming skills of Chen Xuemin, a 90-year-old Qin and Han war drum enthusiast. The most touching thing was that on July 28, 2011, the ceremony of the centralized groundbreaking ceremony of major infrastructure projects in Xixian New Area was held in the eastern section of Lanchi Avenue in Xixian New District, and during the rehearsal break before the ceremony, an 80-year-old man grabbed a drum hammer and performed a performance of impressive ambition, and I took photos and videos in time. It turned out that in 2006, liu Xingfu, a 68-year-old drum team "veteran" who was recording an expansion film, fainted on the spot because of myocardial infarction, and died of ineffective rescue. After this, Huang Jianmin, the inheritor of the Qin and Han war drums, decided to let the overly old people quit, but Liu Xingfu's uncle and brother Liu Xinggui still refused to quit. In the case of Huang Jianmin's bitter persuasion, Liu Xinggui actually asked his daughter to write a "life and death statement": "My father loves to go out and beat the drum, and the accident has nothing to do with others, he himself bears the responsibility, and does not want anyone to take care of it." Take this as proof. Huang Jianmin said very movingly: "I also understood at that moment." Don't let the drum beat to kill it. After the news broke, the rest of the team followed suit. At Huang Jianmin's home, I saw that Huang Jianmin had a stack of signed "letters of commitment" printed with the words "All the consequences caused by hypertension, high blood lipids, heart disease and all other diseases, the responsibility is borne by yourself." There is an old drummer named Zhang Zili, who fell from the one-meter-high drum rack while playing the drum, fell to his head and bled, and had no complaints, but still insisted on participating in the performance. In The first national gong and drum competition of China's "Sima Qian Cup", he is 73 years old, and in his conversation with me, he believes that participating in the national competition is to go to the battlefield, dance drumsticks, boil blood, and have the glory of fighting on the battlefield. In 2014, the Meido drama "Qin Han War Drum Life and Death" written by Liquan playwright Lin Zhishun and directed by retired Qin Xiang Zheng Meng was publicly staged, which was derived from life and based on the true story of Qin and Han war drums, and enjoyed the atmosphere. The story is real and touching, the language is concise, and the plot is touching. The moving storyline, the Qin character that touched the heavens and the earth, and the intangible cultural heritage are inherited by thousands of such folk artists, which is the backbone of the Chinese nation.
In January 2013, the "International Academic Seminar on Great Qin War Drums and Qin Military Culture" was held at the Xianyang Didu Hotel, and more than 60 experts at home and abroad were convened to conduct in-depth research and discussion on the Qin and Han war drums, so that everyone realized that the Qin and Han war drums are a rare living specimen of Qin military culture. Mr. Shi Xingbang, who is more than 90 years old, wrote an inscription for the Qin and Han war drums "Zulong War Drum, the Treasure of the Country". For Huang Jianmin, inheriting the Qin and Han war drums and carrying forward the Qin and Han culture has become his lifelong pursuit, and it is his greatest wish to make the mighty Qin and Han war drums vibrate all over the world and spread in all directions.
Nowadays, the reputation of Qinhan war drums has been greatly shocked, frequent performances have been made, and they have won a voice of praise, and in September 2014, Qinhan war drums participated in the Hancheng < Sima Qian Cup > National Gong and Drum Competition and won the "Bronze Award": Huang Jianmin was rated as an advanced individual who is the representative inheritor of intangible cultural heritage in Shaanxi Province in 2014: in 2015, he participated in the Spring Festival Literary and Art Gala of the education system of Shaanxi Television Station; in December 2016, he participated in the Shaanxi Television Station "Dialect Stage" and won the title of champion In February 2016, it was featured in CCTV Channel 4 'Chinese International' Program inside and outside the Great Wall; in May 2016, it was listed on CCTV Channel 10 < Civilization Code) column; in March 2017, it was listed on CCTV Channel 7 "Military Agriculture"; in August 2017, it was listed on "Tourism Satellite TV" Silk Road Highlights Shaanxi Column.
At present, the members of the Huang Jianmin War Drum Regiment are all over Xi'an and Xianyang, reaching a thousand people. In the eyes of drummers, participating in the war drum troupe is like going to the battlefield, dancing drumsticks, boiling blood, and having a kind of glory of fighting on the battlefield. As a drum song that has been passed down for more than 2,000 years, the Qin and Han war drums are very precious, and it completely reproduces the magnificent momentum of the Chinese Qin Dynasty war music and plays an important role in the study of the military culture of the Qin Dynasty in China; in 2017, Huang Jianmin cooperated with Professor Yang Shengbo of Xianyang Normal University to publish the book "Research on the Art of Qin and Han War Drums".

Huang Jianmin, the inheritor of the Qin and Han war drums, and a large group of drum lovers who love war drums are passing on the intangible cultural heritage with their own actions, which is the source of the national culture passed down from generation to generation. From hobby, to persistence, it finally evolves into a kind of responsibility. Loving to beat the drum is accompanied by life, which is a very high artistic realm, and this persistence is the source of national culture passed down from generation to generation.
An ordinary farmer, with his own actions, inherited and protected an element of Qin culture, which is a remarkable thing. The "Qin and Han War Drums" are spread among the people, which are longer than the folk and are traditional national cultures. Guanzhong has a rich history. The culture of nature and history is integrated into the blood of the Qin people, forming a strong, realistic, thick and simple atmosphere of the Guanzhong people, and the Qin and Han war drums are typical representatives.
Huang Jianmin was rated as a "good man in China" by the Central Civilization Office in January 2021, and for Huang Jianmin, in addition to his love of drumming, there is also a large group of drum fans who love war drums. This is the source of national culture passed down from generation to generation, from hobby, to persistence, and finally to a responsibility. Chinese peasants love and defend their own culture with their simplest, most bold and most sincere primitive behaviors and means, and also explain the true meaning of life and art for us.
