The finds also evidence the fact that the drums were involved in maritime Trans-Asiatic trade exchanges. Dong Son bronze drums have been found in Mekong river valley dated to ca. 4th centiry BCE. Bronze drums called Ningdong in China are in shape comparable to the Dong Son bronze drums.

The find is a proof of trade connections - spanning at least the past thousand years - between this region of Red River valley of northern Vietnam and China/Java. (Diamond, Jared (1997).

The Gong is a medium for societies and individuals to gather together, reaffirm their shared connection, and through music, sound, and ritual approach their deities, demons and mythologies. "The concept of sound as a way to let the spirit world know you are around is found in many cultures" (Brooks). The Gong is also a measure of time: cycles within the day (when the clock strikes), and cycles of musical time. "It occasionally has been recognized, but not adequately explored, that cyclic principles underlie nearly all gong ensemble music in Java, not just gamelan music" (Goldsworthy). Gong is an entrance, and gong signifies the end. Gong is reverence, and yet in the wrong place the gong is foolish, pretentious and mocking. The word Gong is supposed to have come from Java; the name is also its sound. (Brinner). This paper will examine and trace gong cultures in Asia that emanated from China with the development of iron and bronze, and traveled through the countries known as Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma , Malaysia and Indonesia, and if we are to make a full circle, (in the shape of a gong) up to the Philippines and Korea. Each of these modern countries have traditions that predate Western intervention. Some of these traditions are kept alive by semi-isolated minority tribal groups (Vietnam), while others are world renown as tourist destinations because of their gong culture (Bali). The scope of Gong Culture study would touch upon territories as vast as

Asian Ethnology, 2022

The bronze drum in Asia has long been regarded as a form of antiquity and a cultural relic of the bronze age, representative of cultural groups found in China, Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar's border region. Through a close examination of bronze drum culture among the Baiku Yao ethnic minority of northwest Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, in southern China, this article reveals the constitutive role drums play in contemporary social and religious life. This article draws on eight years of ethnographic data and builds on a material culture studies analytical framework to describe the sacralized life of the bronze drum. Through a ritualized anthropomorphic metamorphosis, the bronze drum is said to become a constituted member of the Baiku Yao community and hold sacred power to bridge the human and spirit worlds during funeral ceremonies. This article analyzes the symbolic dimensions of the bronze drum as a cultural practice and as a medium through which Baiku Yao ritual order, social organization and arrangements, and interactions with the spirit world can be understood. It reveals that bronze drums today possess agency in their power to move people, living and dead. https://asianethnology.org/articles/2384

This presentation provides linguistic, archaeological (material culture, genetic, and dental/cranial), and ethnonym data to explore possible language scenarios of the Dong Son culture (600 BCE to 200 CE) in the Red River Delta. The most well-supported scenario is one in which Austroasiatic was present in the RRD from 4000 BP, and that by the Dong Son, Vietic was the dominant language group spoken there, but there is substantial evidence of a Tai presence and Tai-Vietic contact, though the details of such contact remains unclear.
