Creative background: In the early 198s, Mr. Liu Chengzhang, a middle-aged man, gave up his familiar creative forms such as poetry and lyrics and found a new artistic creative way, prose. In fact, the life core of his prose is still exciting romance, or the melody of "believing in heaven". When he came to the provincial capital far from his hometown, the magnificent sight of "Ansai Waist Drum" that broke through the years and swallowed mountains and rivers flashed back in his mind, and the drums that broke out in silence on the plateau still swirled in his ears.
how can he not be heartbroken at the sight of our motherland changing with each passing day in the reform and opening up in the 198s? How can he not rejoice in it? This situation was transformed into what Liu Chengzhang realized day by day, that is, "Ansai Waist Drum", which presented a composite of reason and emotion at that moment. He must use the specific image of "Ansai waist drum" to convey his aesthetic feelings about life and the times, and convey his poetic understanding of life!

Ansai Waist Drum
Look! -
when you hit it, you will make a determined effort, forget yourself and die! Hundreds of young people with oblique drums, such as hundreds of stones that have been constantly hit by strong earthquakes, dance wildly in front of you. Like a shower, it is a hurried drum; Like a whirlwind, it is a flying tassel; Like a frog, it is a jumping step; Like sparks, it is the pupil of flash; Fighting tigers, is a strong charm. On the Loess Plateau, what a magnificent, bold and vigorous dance broke out-Ansai waist drum!
This waist drum immediately makes the cold air hot and dry, makes the quiet sunshine splash and makes the sleepy world excited.
Reminds people: the flag of sunshine falls, and the wind is rustling in A?vagho?a!
Reminds people: the thunder of thousands of miles and the flash of Wan Li!
It reminds people of a complete realization: dark and clear, clear and dark, and then clear forever! No fetters, no fetters, no blockages. It's the strength to break free, break through and break open!
what an Ansai waist drum!
The heavy noise made by hundreds of waist drums collided with the cliff with wild jujube trees in the fields. The cliff suddenly turned into a cowhide drum face, and only rumbling, rumbling and rumbling were heard.
The heavy noise made by hundreds of waist drums collided with the hearts of the audience who forgot all other thoughts, and the hearts of the audience suddenly turned into cowhide drums, which were also rumbling, rumbling and rumbling.
The magnificent lyrical rumbling, the grim thinking rumbling, the earth waves mixed with grass roots turned up between the rumbling plows, the occurrence and relief of rumbling pains ...
What an Ansai waist drum!
The arms, legs and whole body of the younger generation are fighting vigorously, rapidly and ups and downs. It shocks you, burns you and threatens you. It makes you never feel the existence, activity and prosperity of life so clearly. It makes you amazed at the body wrapped in the farmer's clothes, and the body that digests the old pumpkin with red beans can actually release such magnificent energy!
On the Loess Plateau, you have raised these vigorous young people; Only you can bear such a thrilling fight!

Ansai waist drum has a long history, with a history of thousands of years. Drumming reached its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with Qin as the most important. Later generations were mostly used for frontier fortress guards, and they were attacked with alarm orders and war support. In the Song Dynasty, it was mostly used for border clearance. Today's Ansai County is the border between the Northern Song Dynasty and Xixia Kingdom (now Ningxia), and the "Ansai County" and "Ansai Waist Drum" for the stable frontier fortress are also named after it.
