Abstract

Liyang Drum is an ancient traditional folk culture spread in Tunxi District (Huizhou) of Huangshan City, Anhui Province. According to the ancient huizhou ancient texts, it has become an important component of the ceremony on occasions such as sacrifices and temple festivals. In modern times, it has evolved into an important regional folk culture activity and has become one of the representative cultural symbols of locality. This paper uses the documentary data method, fieldwork and other methods to theoretically expound the Liyang Drum from the dimensions of historical and cultural memory, intangible cultural heritage identity, and contemporary value. The study believes that as a regional folk culture, the Liyang Drum can be retained and generate strong cultural vitality in the vicissitudes of history through body performance, which has multi-dimensional connotation value, which is embodied in the three dimensions of economy, education and history and culture.
