Shanxi folk literature and art
Legend has it that Emperor Yao betrothed his two daughters to Shun as his wife. Since then, Emperor Yao has regarded Wan 'an Village as her husband's family and Yeung Yi Village as her maiden. On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, when E Huang and Nv Ying return to their parents' home, people in Wan 'an Village beat gongs and drums to see them off. When they come back, people in Yangyu Village beat gongs and drums to show off. Since then, there have been magnificent gongs and drums. After thousands of years of generations, it has evolved into a strong rhythm and powerful gongs and drums. In some counties and almost all villages in Linfen, there are gongs and drums teams, which often reach more than 100 people. When they are played, they are gorgeous, handsome and powerful.
