DescriptionFou used on 2008 Beijing Olympics opening ceremony, MIM PHX.jpg |
Fou (缶 or 缻; pinyin: fǒu; 2008)
Millions of spectators worldwide were thrilled by the beauty and grandeur of the drumming presentation that opened the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.[1] Moving in graceful, balletic unison, 2,008 percussionists pounded out earth-shaking rhythms on gigantic drums outfitted with LEDs that flashed with each explosive beat. Beijing national Stadium resounded as the drummers chanted a line from Confucius welcoming “friends from faraway.” This ceremonial drum is one of the 2,008 from that historic event. It bears the number 18, considered lucky in Chinese culture. The instrument's rectangular shape--unusual for a drum--and elaborate ornamentation recall the ancient Chinese fou, a type of drum fashioned from a wine vessel. But the LEDs clearly make this 21st-century instrument, and one that played a dramatic role in history. |
