The ancient bronze drums unearthed and handed down in the frontier ethnic regions of South China were engraved many decorations of tribal dancing scenes in ancient times. These decorations and figures were closely related to the farming and sacrificing cultures of southern frontier tribes. Before the appearance of writing characters,these decorations on the drums were exactly the religious cultures and communicating language of southern frontier ethnic groups,symbolizing the ethnic culture of bronze drums. The bronze drum dancing reflected the religious culture and played positive roles in the ethnic fusion and society governing of southern frontier tribes.
