What 鼚 means
It writes a drum sound, not the drum itself.
Yupian, a Chinese character dictionary compiled around 543, glosses 鼚 as a drum sound. A line in the Qingyun song places it in a courtly scene of ritual and succession; later historical and court-music citations keep the same sound-word sense. The Taiwan Ministry of Education dictionary says Shuowen has no entry for 鼚 as of 2026-09-12.
Literary and dictionary-attested; it fits classical song and music-history contexts.
