Abstract
This dissertation explores the ethnography contexts of the Xianning people in Hubei, focusing on the creation and evolution of their musical identity. The unique terrain of Xianning, characterized by hilly areas and isolated by mountains, has fostered a rich but marginalized musical culture, reflecting a blend of diverse regional influences. Through methods including a literature review, a field investigation, and interviews, the research examines the distribution, types, and artistic characteristics of folk music in southern Hubei, along with the current state of its cultural inheritance and development. The folk music of Xianning is deeply rooted in traditional Han agricultural civilization, demonstrates a strong connection between musical creation and the local way of life. This study highlights how the traditional lifestyle, influenced by material production modes, has shaped and transformed folk music over time. The research underscores the significance of intangible cultural heritage, emphasizing that the role of inheritors is crucial for the survival and development of folk music. In the modern context, this study identifies the challenges posed by urbanization and globalization, which have led to a decline in the transmission of folk music traditions among younger generations. Despite government efforts to protect and promote intangible cultural heritage, the study suggests that sustainable preservation requires active involvement from social groups and educational institutions. To revitalize and sustain folk music, the research proposes integrating folk music into school curricula, enhancing public awareness through media, and developing the folk music industry. The study concludes that while the folk music of Xianning faced significant challenges, it held immense cultural value and potential for revival through strategic preservation and innovative development efforts. By protecting and promoting this musical heritage, Xianning can enrich its cultural identity and ensure the continued vitality of its folk music traditions.
