The Integration of National and Western Percussion Instruments in Terms of Traditional Opera Music

National instruments of China, including percussion, have a long history of development, however, with the beginning of the era of openness, Western percussion began to be actively used in musical culture. As part of the article, the author analyses the history of the integration of national and Western percussion instruments and their use in Peking opera music. The relevance of the study is determined by the lack of special studies in the Russian-language literature on the integration of Chinese and Western percussion accompanied by opera productions in China.
