“We found that many netizens created images based on the drum with their Photoshop skills. We are surprised to see their talent and creativity in their works, such as a drum-shaped grinder and a drum-like stage for Anhui Opera. The most popular is the drum-shaped hotpot,” a person in charge of Wanda city said on the ceremony.

He said these creative works promote Chinese drum culture, serving the competition’s goal and providing a chance for all fans of Chinese culture to know more about the traditional instrument.
