The biggest feature of Taiyuan gongs and drums is that the two teams stand in battle and confront each other. This kind of confrontation is common on festive days, and both teams can see each other in the street. Whenever this happens, the two sides do not give in to each other and show their magic power, one song after another, one song after another, one song after another, and they are anxious for a while and never stop. This kind of performance to Taiwan is more exciting and exciting, and sometimes it will last for five or six hours.

This kind of confrontation and contest has become a traditional custom of gongs and drums in Taiyuan, just like two armies fighting against each other, vowing not to win or lose. Its skillful playing skills and intense scenes are rare in China. It embodies the rugged local characteristics of Taiyuan people since ancient times, and also embodies the national characteristics of Taiyuan people's perseverance, yearning and pursuit of victory. It constitutes the gorgeous local characteristics of Taiyuan gongs and drums, and also establishes the leading position of Taiyuan gongs and drums in Taiyuan Han folk social fire customs.

On the fifteenth day of the first month every year, the downtown area of Taiyuan should organize gongs and drums performances to celebrate the festival!

Taiyuan gongs and drums are the soul of Taiyuan social fire custom, which is loved by Taiyuan people. Since the liberation of Taiyuan, especially since the reform and opening-up, this folk social fire activity with a long history has entered a golden age, and it was praised as "the first drum in China" at the opening ceremony of the first China Folk Art Festival and the 11th Asian Games.
