Xi'an drum music originated from the Sui and Tang dynasties and has been passed down for over a thousand years in the Guanzhong Plain region centered around the Tang capital Chang'an. It is a typical representative of traditional Chinese instrumental music culture and is known as the "living fossil of ancient Chinese music". In 2006, Xi'an drum music was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list, and in 2009 it was included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
