Sun Drum Culture of Miao People
The Miao people, an ethnic minority group in China, have a rich culture that includes vibrant costumes and traditional music, often accompanied by the rhythmic beat of the sun drum, or 筒鼓 (tǒng gǔ) in Chinese. The sun drum is an important symbol of Miao culture, representing the sun and prosperity. It is typically made of hollowed-out wood, with animal skin stretched over the top, and played with a pair of wooden sticks. The sound of the sun drum is said to be able to drive away evil spirits and bring good luck. For the Miao people, the sun drum is not just a musical instrument, but a powerful cultural icon that connects them to their heritage and traditions.
