Irreplaceable handmade quality constructs product value, and interacts well with the community, thus it was ultimately able to survive by adapting to society. Percussion music demonstrates the life culture of the commoners, and demonstrates the rich aspects of the times. The community development association plays the important role of combining drum craftsmanship and drum music for innovation development. School art education carries out cultural heritage. The traditional lion formation and escort drums have leapt onto the performance art stage, and the government, community, and schools have all cooperated to extend the custom of art formation cultural spirit. Changhua County’s Hsienhsi Township promotes drum music through overall community creation, civil clubs, and school art education.
