Its arias draw on Hakka mountain-song and tea-picking tunes such as laoshange, shangezi and pingban. In the three-role plays the civil section is two fiddles, the panghu (the kezaixian card stands in) and the erxian (the erhu card stands in), and a single percussionist plays drum, small cymbals and gongs.", "recipe": "classic mid-1930s hakka caichaxi, art Music, east Asian branch. single lead single track no stacking. kezaixian, bamboo stick horsehair threaded between strings erhu, membrane drum pulse resonant acoustic membrane drum, chazi, opera bending gong tamtam. field recording.
