What's interesting about Lingshan?

Lingshan has a long history. As early as the late Paleolithic period, "Lingshan people" with the characteristics of Mongolian adults had lived and multiplied in this land. In the eighteenth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (AD 598), a county was established, initially named Nanbin; In the tenth year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (636), it was renamed Lingshan. Since ancient times, Lingshan is rich in natural resources and product resources, which can be called a treasure of things and outstanding people. To this end, Yu Guangyuan, a famous economist in China, happily wrote an inscription praising: "Water is beautiful in Lingshan, and water is beautiful in Lingshan".

General situation of tourism

Lingshan has four seasons like spring and beautiful scenery. There are many scenic spots between the green hills and the beautiful water. Only in the county and suburbs, there are Liufeng Mountain Scenic Area, Lingdong Water Leisure Summer Resort, Dalu Village Folk Tourist Area and Longwuming Crisham Ecological Sightseeing Tourist Area managed by the autonomous region. There are the cliff stone carvings of Sanhaiyan, a key cultural relics protection unit in Guangxi, and the Lingshan people site in Maanshan, a key cultural relics protection unit in Guangdong Province.

folk custom

Lingshan Lingtou Qu is widely circulated among the people and has a unique traditional songbook. Singing is mainly composed of jumping lights, three points, jumping red and four points. Singing in Lingshan dialect and Mandarin, without musical instruments, but with long drums and gongs. The main singing method is to sing the upper and lower sentences once and the gongs and drums once.

Yandun Town in Lingshan has the custom of "beating gongs and drums to welcome the spring". During the Spring Festival, deep, loud and powerful drums resounded through the sky like spring thunder! The existing highest drum in Yandun Town is nearly 3 meters high. Drummers must stand on two benches and beat the drums. The maximum drum head diameter is 1.8m, and the weight is over 350kg. It takes seven or eight big men to lift it. The oldest one was made in the 16th year of Guangxu (AD 1890). These "kings of drums" make an avalanche-like sound when they beat, which brings the unique momentum of "Yandun Drum" to the extreme. Every Spring Festival, Yandun Town holds a big drum competition: dozens or even hundreds of big drums are arrayed to beat gongs and drums together. The drums were deafening and spectacular, and tens of thousands of people cheered and were ecstatic in the deafening drums. ...

Drums, accompanied by gongs and cymbals, are sacred objects revered by Yandun people. In the past, drumming could only be played during the Spring Festival, and other times and occasions should never be played casually, otherwise it would be regarded as a big violation, hell to pay. The custom passed down from generation to generation and the mysterious rules of drumming have increased people's curiosity about yandun drum.

Another unique feature of Yandun Drum and its custom culture is that they only exist in Yandun Town, Lingshan. There is no such custom in Lingshan and Hengxian towns adjacent to Yandun Town. No one can explain this folk custom, and there is no literature to record this regional custom. Because of this, the unique and powerful drums give the people in their hometown a masculine and brave character and characteristics. When the drums sound, everyone will be full of energy, regardless of age, people will change drums. This is also one of the special features of Yandun Drum.

Ancient customs will always develop with the progress of the times. Lingshan attaches great importance to carrying forward the traditional folk custom of "Yandun Drum", bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new, and endowing it with brand-new connotation of the times. Now, Yandun Drum is not only used for traditional Spring Festival celebrations, but also for large-scale cultural and sports activities and celebrations in Lingshan. At the opening ceremony of the "Third National Games" in Qinzhou held in Lingshan, the Yandun Drum made its majestic debut for the first time, which made a great impression on the guests from all over the world and became a highlight of the opening ceremony. Subsequently, the Yandun Drum "appeared" in CCTV, which was heroic and breathtaking. In the TV series "Cold Autumn", Yandun Drum also appeared on invitation. For a time, the reputation of Yandun Drum spread rapidly: China has Shanxi "prestige gongs and drums" in the north and Guangxi "Yandun Drum" in the south! People from the news, culture and tourism circles from all over the country flocked to see the elegant demeanor of the smoke mound drum.

Since then, the magical smoke mound drum has gone to Bagui and the whole country. In the future, it will go abroad, make a name for itself overseas and shock the world!
