Shen Xue Ning had no idea that she had become the object of selection. She was looking at a young girl on the competition stage, about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was calm and confident, had an artistic air about her, and was quite pretty.

At this time, no one from Shen Xue Ning's side has gone up to compete, so she can relax for the time being.

Shen Xue Ning looked at the stage. The little girl opened the violin case, put the violin on the table, and began to play calmly.

The sound of the piano is melodious and pleasant, but it carries a hint of immaturity, which is a unique characteristic of young people's piano playing and is very common due to their lack of experience.

It's great that the little girl can play such a tune.

Shen Xue Ning learned to play the piano and could hear some connotations, so she thought the girl's piano sound was very good, but it would be a bit difficult for her to win the championship.

The little girl finished playing the piano, and the judges next to her gave her a score, and then the second person came on stage...

Still a guqin...

Her music is very stable, but not beautiful enough. Of course, this is a nitpicking evaluation. Since she can participate in the competition, her piano skills must be good, but this is a competition, so comparison is definitely needed.

Soon the third person came on stage, this time it was a little boy.

There were not many young boys learning piano, about fifteen or sixteen years old. The piece he played was relatively sonorous and powerful, and sounded majestic. According to Shen Xue Ning's aesthetic taste, his piece scored higher than the first two little girls'.

The little boy was serious. After playing the piano, he stood up, bowed, and then left the stage.

Next up is the fourth...

Shen Xue Ning looked at the time. It was only half an hour and she was already in fourth place. The efficiency of this competition was quite high. According to this time, she could also participate in the competition this afternoon.

One after another, Shen Xue Ning's side is temporarily unable to compete, but Zhang Yafei's side still has a few people who are about to compete - Xi'an Drum Music.

Xi'an drum music is a group type instrument competition, and the core instruments include drums, gongs, cymbals and suona.

Drum is the most important instrument in Xi'an drum music. There are many types of drums, such as bass drum, medium drum, snare drum, etc. The emotion and atmosphere of the music are expressed through different striking methods and rhythm changes.

Gongs and cymbals are important percussion instruments that enhance the expressiveness and impact of music through strong timbre and rhythm changes.

Suona is a lead and solo instrument with a high-pitched and passionate timbre and unique playing techniques.

The instruments of Xi'an drum music can be divided into two categories: melodic instruments and percussion instruments.

Melodic instruments include flute, sheng, pipe and square box, etc.

Percussion instruments include drums, cymbals, gongs and wooden instruments. Specifically, there are more than 30 types such as war drums, seat drums, music drums, solo drums, single-sided drums, high-handled drums, large cymbals, large cymbals, hinged drums, large gongs, horse gongs, Haikouzi, lead gongs, tribute gongs, large bangzi, hand bangzi and wooden fish.

This is a relatively complex group, and the performance will not be good without a certain level of skills.

Zhang Yafei and her group of about a dozen people form a group. Shen Xuening took a lot of effort to form them successfully. I hope they can achieve good results.

Shen Xue Ning sent a message in the group: "Zhang Yafei, just play it safe."

Zhang Yafei: "Got it, blogger, we won't let you down."

Shen Xue Ning: "You are not performing for me, but for yourselves. Just don't let yourself down. Just do your best. It's no big deal. There will be opportunities for such competitions in the future."

Zhang Yafei: “We know.”

With Shen Xue Ning's comfort, everyone found that they were not so nervous anymore, and when it was time to go on stage, everyone was calm and walked onto the stage calmly.

After they came on stage, the lights turned blue. Zhang Yafei and her friends were wearing Tang suits. In the dark tones, they looked like they came from the Tang Dynasty. Many people took out their phones to take pictures of them.

Shen Xue Ning also used her mobile phone to take pictures of them, while Shen Baohong had already found a good position and was taking pictures there.

He not only took pictures of themselves, but also took pictures of others. He was active around the competition venue. Everyone thought he was an assigned staff member.

When the vocal music sounded, the unique charm of Xi'an drum music was revealed, with a strong Tang Dynasty style, strong rhythm, timbre changes, and full of shock.

The judges nearby were all stunned.

“This team is good, and there’s a sense of expressing the essence.”

"Listening to their performance, I felt like I was back in the Tang Dynasty. The atmosphere was so passionate and unrestrained."

"It's rare, really rare, it's rare for a team to show the charm of Xi'an drum music, it's so extraordinary."

The people watching nearby were involuntarily drawn into the vocal music; some of the older generation even squinted their eyes and listened with extreme concentration, as if they were experiencing a time travel experience.

And the people performing on the stage were also immersed in their instruments, as if they had become one with the instruments in their hands.

After the song ended, no one moved. They seemed to be immersed in it, or perhaps reluctant to let the beautiful melody fade away.

Suddenly, there was a burst of applause, and then everyone started applauding.

"Okay, great."

"It sounds so beautiful. You young people have finally figured out Xi'an drum music. You must keep up the good work and carry forward our intangible cultural heritage."

Zhang Yafei and the others followed suit and applauded. Listening to the applause, everyone felt excited and knew that they had succeeded.

The host's voice sounded, and they walked down the stage one by one and headed towards the audience.

They did not return to the original audience seats, but came to Shen Xuening.

Zhang Yafei asked excitedly: "Blogger, how is it?"

Shen Xue Ning gave a high evaluation: "Very good, an extraordinary performance, I am infected by you, really, the infectious power is very strong, look at those old men, each one of them is moved by you."

"That's good, that's good..." Everyone's face was filled with smiles.

Shen Xue Ning felt relieved. Their performance was an art, and if she wanted to sign them, she definitely couldn't offer them ordinary wages. Now that she saw their strength, she felt relieved.

It will be a while before Shen Xuening’s team starts performing, so everyone can watch other competitions.

The video of Zhang Yafei and her group's performance was just uploaded to the Internet, causing a frenzy of reposting. For a time, the popularity of Xi'an drum music on the Internet soared.

"Xue Ning, look." Qin Zizhou showed Shen Xue Ning the trending searches on Weibo.

Shen Xue Ning turned her head and asked: "It's on the trending search?"

Qin Zizhou said: "Look, this is the charm of traditional art. As long as it is really good, everyone will appreciate it."

Shen Xuening agreed: "I hope everyone can see the beauty of traditional art."

Qin Zizhou said: "Of course I will."

Zhang Yafei and a few others took out their phones and went to check Weibo. When they saw that their performance had become a trending topic, they were so happy that they were almost incoherent.
