OLIMPIC 2008 drummers at the Opening Ceremony 2
The 2,008 fou, a 4,000-year-old percussion instrument in China, formed a matrix that occupied both sides of the arena, symbolising the year of the Olympic Games in Beijing, and the roar of thunder surged from the floor of the stadium. The fou was originally a large pot-like container used to store wine or other liquid. Back in the State of Qin (a state during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods of China), people, when they became drunk and wanted to sing, would use it to pound out a beat. Gradually, it evolved into a drum- like instrument played by the host at a party.
The drummers at the Opening Ceremony rhythmically beat the fou and chanted with their arms outstretched: “Friends have come from afar, how happy we are.” This famous excerpt from The Analects by Confucius was the warmest greeting of the ancient Chinese nation transcending time and space.
