Abstract: Bronze drum research is the focus of ancient bronze culture research in southern China and
Southeast Asia. Due to different archaeological excavations and academic research traditions, Chinese
and Vietnamese scholars have formed completely different views on the development and evolution of
early bronze drums. In recent years, reflections on the methods haven been conducted. Some scholars
have tried to put the development and evolution of bronze drums in the overall framework of the bronze
cultures in China and Southeast Asia, and have obtained some new understandings. Of course, in
addition to the change of research paradigm, we also need to strengthen the scientific detection of
early bronze drums and the employment of various theories, in order to further expand the breadth and
depth of the bronze drum research, and promote it into a new stage.
