Description Trống quân singing is often held during the off-season, after the harvest or during festivals. In addition, people can sing impromptu while planting, working in the fields, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, in festivals, feasts, etc. The content refers to historical events, village names, wedding customs, love and literary anecdotes. Trống quân singing is different from other places because it is unique in that it both responds and is creative in asking and answering. Another special feature is that there are no fixed lyrics, requiring the ability to improvise quickly and spontaneously. Asking and answering create attraction, thereby pushing the singing to its climax. The progression of a singing session includes: calling and answering singing, greeting singing, inviting singing, making an appointment singing, trying singing, challenging singing, and finally singing in response. Trống quân singing is widely popular in cultural festivals, becoming a unique cultural and tourism product of Hưng Yên.
