February 12, 2025, is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, on that day, the members of the Zhang Village Drum and Gong Team, dressed in brightly colored traditional costumes, red as fire and yellow as gold, appear particularly striking in the morning light. Along the way, a gentle breeze caresses, and the members' hearts have long drifted towards the factory, which is about to become lively.

元宵喜乐  共享团圆

     When the gong and drum corps arrived at the factory, the workers put down their work and gathered around. With a loud drum beat, the show officially began. The master who led the drum clenched the drumstick with both hands, raised it high, and fell heavily, and the passionate rhythm instantly broke the usual tranquility of the factory. "Knock knock", the drum beat is like dense raindrops, and like a galloping horse, the sound is shocking.

     Immediately afterwards, the sound of gongs and cymbals intertwined to form a warm symphony. The movements of the players are uniform, and every stroke is full of power. Their faces were filled with simple smiles, and sweat slid down their cheeks, but it didn't affect their concentration in the slightest. The colorful flags on the side danced in the wind, like a burning flame, adding a bit of agility and vitality to the whole performance.

During the performance, the workers were also infected by the warm atmosphere. Some clapped to the rhythm, and some even couldn't help but join the performance team and dance with the team members. A young worker said with a smile: "I am usually busy with work, and I don't feel the atmosphere of the festival very much, but today the gong and drum team came, and the flavor of this year was strong all of a sudden, so happy!" ”

   The leadership of the factory also came to the site to express their sincere gratitude to the drum team. They stated that such performances not only enriched the cultural life of the workers but also allowed everyone to feel the warmth of home while away in a foreign place.

The visit of the rural drum team to the factory brought joy to the workers and transmitted traditional rural culture. These rhythmic beats, passed down for many years, carry the memories and emotions of the countryside, resonating in the factory workshop, allowing more people to appreciate the charm of rural culture. This encounter during the Lantern Festival not only added a festive atmosphere to the celebration but also built a cultural bridge between the countryside and the factory.
