阅读并根据下面的短文,在表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
(2024·泰州一模)The drum has existed in Chinese civilization for thousands of years and has a deep spiritual meaning which is more than a kind of musical instrument. Confucius regarded the “Drum Dance” highly. It is also the origin of the Chinese phrase “guwu” which means “embolden (使有胆量)” in English.
The drum was mentioned in Chinese history in the Pottery Age. The Zhou Dynasty set up the drum music institution that was responsible(负责的) for the management of officers known as “drum men” and developed a complete drum music system. From then on, drums came to be used in ancient Chinese practices such as sacrifice(祭祀), military, labour and other activities.
In ancient China, agriculture was the main form of production and drums were considered indispensable(不可或缺的) for a good harvest. Since the sound of drums echoes that of thunder, it was believed that playing the drums could attract rain. So the instrument was used to pray for good weather and to “communicate” with them.
Drums also played a part in the war. Because of a strong resonance effect(共振作用), the drum's sound could go very far while increasing fear in the heart of the enemies. So the drum was used as a military booster for a long time.
In the Tang and Song dynasties, the society was developing fast and drums were widely used. The national band, drama, folk art, song and dance, boat racing, lion dance, festival gathering and labour competition were all together with the beats of drums. The sound of drums became synonymous(同义的) with celebrations, filling hearts with joy.
Different types of Chinese drums exist today. For example, “Taiping Drum” is used to express hope for peace and prosperity(繁荣) while “Ansai Waist Drum” is meant to show the spirit of the Loess Plateau(黄土高原) and the heroic character of farmers in Northwest China. Kaifeng has “Pan Drum”, and Luochuan of Shaanxi Province is known for its “Bie Drum”. There are also some cheerful and time-honoured drum dances such as “Fengyang Flower Drum” in Anhui Province and “Fishing Basket Flower Drum” in Jiangsu Province.
In a word, drum culture reflects the stability(安定) and prosperity of Chinese society. For thousands of years, Chinese people have always been expecting peace and satisfaction.
