Foxian drum chanting is the youngest out of all the Xianzhou regional folk arts.
Its origins can be traced back to the first Foxian merchants banging pots and hawking goods out on the street when the Foxians first joined the Xianzhou Alliance. Performers strike drums while singing with the rhythm. It's almost exclusively a singing art, with almost no spoken word.
Foxian Drum Chanting themes closely align with the ethnic characteristics of the Foxians, who praise heroes and romance while singing of passionate battles and ardent emotion. However, compared with the simplicity of Xianzhou Chordophone, Foxian drum chanters usually adopt serenely beautiful and boundlessly evocative lyrics.
But I don't think this is a contradiction. After all, one of the earliest Foxian drum chanting songs is the Foxian traditional "Epic of the Old Verdant Home."
In recent years, two Foxian drum chants have become quite popular: The "Cloud Knights Against the Borisin" with its depiction of historical heroes, and the soft, joyful romance of "Foxian Bewitched." If you've got the time to spare, I recommend you give them a listen.
