Extension: The inheritance and development of traditional ethnic music culture

1. Foreword

China’s ethnic folk music is an important part of the world’s ethnic music and is also A treasure of our country’s traditional culture. According to statistics, there are about 300,000 folk songs collected so far. National music plays an extremely important role in my country's traditional culture and also has an important historical position.

2. Understanding of National Music

National music exists as part of my country’s traditional national culture. National music comes into being with the existence of a nation. It changes not only due to changes in the means of life, customs, and natural conditions, but also changes under the influence of national politics and historical background. Because of their own beliefs, living habits, and customs, especially social groups with the same language, each ethnic group will form a national culture in a specific area that adapts to the social environment and natural environment. Therefore, the formation of national music has its own specific national characteristics.

3. Inheritance of traditional national music culture

Chinese writing has a history of more than 5,000 years, but the history of music can be traced back even further. The bone flute is the earliest musical cultural relic currently possessed by our country, with a history of 7,000 to 8,000 years ago. Traditional ethnic music culture includes folk art music, folk songs, dance music, opera music, etc. According to statistics: there are thousands of types of folk songs, 1,500 varieties of folk dance music, more than 200 types of opera music, and more than 300 types of folk art music. Colorful traditional music constitutes a valuable asset of Chinese traditional culture. Wealth, precisely because of the diversity of types and forms of traditional Chinese folk music, it has become a wealth of traditional music culture that no other country can match.

The thinker Dong Zhongshu once pointed out: "Happy people change people's customs and customs. It is also easy to change people, and it is also effective to transform people. Therefore, the sound comes from harmony and is based on emotion, connected to the skin, and the taste is in the bone marrow." That is, Through "harmony of voice" and "harmony of heart", "political harmony" and "harmony" can be achieved. For the Chinese, music comes from the heart, is an expression of the human spirit, and has a profound impact on anyone's soul.

4. Briefly describe the history and current situation of the national music culture of Maguan County

The national music of Maguan County has a long history and is known for its tradition. It is recorded in many chronicles and classics of Yunnan Province and prefectures and counties. Ni Tui, a historian during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, wrote in "Dian Xiaoji Lusheng": "In Song Dynasty (964-968), he paid tribute and summoned him. He asked about geographical customs and ordered him to perform a native dance. One person played the ladle sheng, which was called Shuiqu. , that is, the Lusheng. "In the old days, Maguan was the county of Jinsang County. The Lusheng dance mentioned in the article is still danced by the Miao people today. The "Kaihua Prefecture Chronicles" published by the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty records that the Nong people "married privately through singing, and then discussed finances with their parents." This custom is very common among the Nong people of the Zhuang ethnic group in Maguan.

The national music culture of Maguan County has been inherited and developed with the care of the party and the government. Every time they go out on the streets or during festivals, compatriots of all ethnic groups in the county sing folk songs and play ancient music, which has been a spectacle that has lasted for decades. Music workers in Wenshan Prefecture have collected many precious folk music materials. And on this basis, he created batch after batch of excellent musical works. For example, the Miao song "Huashan Ballad", which was very influential in the province in the 1980s, was composed using elements of Miao folk songs from Maguan. It won the national song composition award for "Singing Beautiful Yunnan". It spread to the United States, Guyana and other countries on the other side of the ocean. The Dai music in Maguan is completely different from the Dai music in Xishuangbanna and Dehong. It has a unique style and is called "peculiar mountain Dai music".

5. Innovate national music culture on the basis of inheritance

Traditional folk culture is ancient, but it is fragile in the face of the advanced scientific world. Under the influence of increasingly developed modern civilization, traditional culture is often unable to resist the impact of powerful modern communication media. Many traditional customs and handed down arts quietly withdrew from the stage of history under this background. Therefore, national music culture should innovate on the basis of inheritance. Especially in today's globalized cultural context, a healthy cultural ecology should be "diversified, constructive, and endless." Only when traditional civilization and contemporary background are organically integrated, rooted in the cultural soil of this nation, with me as the main subject and for my use, can the cultural innovation of the Chinese nation be realized, and the national music culture become a kind of music that can be enjoyed by people. culture, thereby gaining people's recognition and promoting the development of national music.

The development and changes of the times affect the update of the audience’s musical aesthetic concepts. They demand that national folk music rise to a new level. This is the combination of national folk music and modern music expression techniques. Composers strive to be innovative in their programs and create works with a modern style based on national and folk music.

6. Conclusion

Ethnomusicology is a discipline that combines ethnology and musicology. As Merriam emphasized, “Ethnomusicology usually consists of music and music. Ethnology consists of two different parts. It can be considered that its main task is not to emphasize either side, but to adopt a characteristic method that takes both sides into consideration and integrate them. "So, we must use a cultural perspective. , anthropological methods to study ethnomusicology, and use cultural perspective and global perspective to conduct ethnomusicology research. Ethnomusicology has its own special research methods. These understandings are correct, and it is precisely because ethnomusicology has such Only the special methods define its research fields and objects, that is, the objects and fields suitable for research using these methods. Therefore, the research objects of ethnomusicology are not infinitely broad, but can and must be delimited.
