The Shenzhen Drum And Drum Team Helped The Torch Relay.

Recently, Jing Bao reporters visited Wei Wei Gong drum team in Shui Wai village and Ansai waist drum team in Luohu village, and learned the story behind the two teams.

Zhuang Youquan, the trade union chairman of Shui Wai village, told reporters that "Shanxi's prestige and gongs and drums have a long history and are the quintessence of the Central Plains culture and even the Chinese nation's culture."

Zhuang Youquan talked about the original intention of building a gong and drum team: "in 2007, we started the community culture construction of Shui Wai village, and we wanted to have our own characteristics.

The gongs and drums are rare in Shenzhen, and they are very National.

So our original idea was to bring the gongs and drums to Shenzhen.

"At the very beginning, our players were basically more than 30 employees in the company (Limited by Share Ltd, Shui Wai Village)."

Memories of the difficult team, Zhuang Youquan repeatedly sigh.

After seeing the magnificent momentum and pleasant sound of gongs and drums, the villagers in Shui Wai began volunteered to join the gong and drum team.

"Finally, several villagers who never participated in collective activities volunteered to join."

Zhuang Youquan mentioned the changes brought by Wei Wei Gong and drum water supply village.

At present, the gong and drum team has developed to 96 people, including 22 women. Among these people, the oldest is 58 years old.

"In order to better develop the prestige and gongs and drums, we specially invited 3 professional coaches from Shanxi."

Zhuang Youquan said.

The number is enough, the coach has it, but the bigger problem is coming.

"Our players are not trained in music, so they don't know anything about drum music or rhythm."

Zhuang Youquan believes that the lack of musical accomplishment is the biggest defect of the gong and drum team.

Faced with difficulties, villagers in Shui Wai village did not shrink back.

"The villagers sacrifice more than 2 hours a day to practice, and many people continue to drum up after training.

It lasted for more than a month.

Zhuang Youquan believed that with the unremitting efforts of the villagers, today's gong and drum team is available.

In the festivities held in Shenzhen and Futian District, we can see the figure of Gong and drum team.

The title of the Fukuda Arts Festival is engraved with their names.

The Shenzhen Sports Bureau also invited the gongs and drums team to perform a cheer show at the end of the torch relay.

"We have been rehearsing all these days to welcome the torch in the best possible condition."

Zhuang Youquan also said, "as part of the performance, we must play the essence, spirit and spirit of the people of Shenzhen."

In Shenzhen, there is such a waist drum team full of regional characteristics - the Luohu village waist drum team from the Luohu community in Nanhu street.

As for why the Ansai waist drum was chosen, Yuan Huanping explained: "before the village, there were people dancing Yangko and dancing fans.

Ansai waist drum has something in common with these, and has its own unique characteristics.

Now Yuan Huanping, as long as he meets with the activities of the drum team, stops his work and acts as a cheerleader on the sidelines. Sometimes, one station is an afternoon.

"I am the number one fan of the drum team."

Yuan Huanping did not hide his love for the drum team.

Recalling the hardships of entrepreneurship, Deng Weiping, the leader of the drum team, said: "at the beginning, only 10 people signed up in the whole village."

If people are not enough, they will not show the magnificent momentum of Ansai's waist drum.

In addition, the exercise site is also a difficult problem.

"There is a vacant lot in the village.

But the drum is too loud, and the hotels and residents around have opinions.

After that, we contacted a school, but usually students had to attend classes, so we could only play on weekends.
