Zhangzhou Nezha drum music is a kind of chanting performance ritual originated from folk beliefs. It was introduced to Zhangzhou from the Taoist holy land of Shanxi Lushan in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. Nezha drum music cooperates with the folk custom ritual "walking on fire" and is the product of the integration of the primitive witchcraft ritual of the ancient Minyue people and the Taoist music of Shanxi Lushan. Walking on fire and Nezha drum music are popular in Xiangcheng, Longhai and Nanjing. They are rehearsed in temples on the first and fifteenth nights of the lunar calendar. The date of walking on fire is the first and second day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar or according to the birthday of the god believed in. From opening the altar to inviting the gods to sending the gods to heaven, the singing continues all day long, the scale is spectacular, and the atmosphere is rough and warm. The music of Nezha drum music has two beats, three beats, and four beats, with tight, slow, and medium tempos. The instruments used include long-handled hand drums, boards (sky rulers), horse gongs, etc. The members of the Nezha drum and music formation sing the Zhangzhou-style Nezha drum and music accompanied by the sound of gongs, celestial rulers and other instruments by beating long-handled hand drums with magic talismans attached to them. Because the lyrics contain the phrase "visiting the Third Prince of Nezha", the long-handled hand drums are also called "Nezha drums", and the name of the Nezha drum formation also comes from this. Nezha is commonly known as the Prince in Zhangzhou and Taiwan, or as the Prince of Nezha, the Marshal of the Central Altar, the Daluo Immortal, etc. The Zhangzhou Nezha drum and music is based on the idea of Nezha stepping on the wind and fire wheel and walking on fire. The chanting music is between the ancient chanting ballads and folk songs of Zhangzhou. It is the prototype of Zhangzhou folk songs and preserves some music that is on the verge of being lost, especially the rare three-beat music in folk songs and dances. Nezha drum music can be divided into introduction and main song. The introduction belongs to Sanban, and the main song has a regular beat. If the structure of the lyrics is discussed, it can be divided into poetry and prose. The most common poetry is neat sentence patterns, and seven-character sentences are the most common. Wenheng Hall, now located in Daxixiang, Xiangcheng District, Zhangzhou, is an important place for holding fire-walking ceremonies and an important place for singing Nezha drum music. The hall was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573-1619). In addition to holding fire-walking ceremonies and singing Nezha drum music, Wenheng Hall also retains the custom of "biting the flag" on this basis. "Biting the flag" means singing Nezha drum music together with the Nezha drum formations of neighboring communities. The Nezha drum biting flag formation is: the column leans sideways and bends its knees to walk in the Yu step, arranged in the order of the head flag, Tianlu, Nezha drum formation, and horse gong, the guest advances and the host retreats. During this period, both sides are symmetrical and sing music with the same tune but different words, showing their respective superb skills. When the guest team enters the hall and stands on both sides to chant, the host team should squat on both sides outside the hall to chant. After the guest team finishes chanting, they hold incense and pay respect to the gods, and then the Nezha drum teams on both sides withdraw in turn.
