On The Aesthetic Culture Of East Ha-ha Tune

East Ha-ha Tune,also known as "East Ha-ha Melody ",is the primary matrilineal in the three branches of Ha-ha Tune.It was formed in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty,and spread across regions from southeast Hebei to northwest Shandong,which connects Hebei and Shandong provinces.It is a kind of northern folk art integrating the two major tune characteristics of "Dongliu" and "Xibang" in the early Qing Dynasty.It has been popular and loved by the people in the spreading regions for hundreds of years.East Ha-ha Tune contains rich regional cultural information and artistic resources,reflects all aspects of local people's life,and artistically presents the characters of different classes and industries,which has important aesthetic and cultural research value.However,due to the changes of the times,people's life and entertainment have undergone great changes,East Ha-ha Tune is showing an unsatisfactory living condition.Although policy guidance,economic subsidies,administrative intervention and other means can play an alleviating role in a short period of time,it is difficult to maintain its life for a long time.In the case that many measures fail to achieve obvious results,it is a necessary and realistic choice to carry out a kind of "rescue" based on the academic level,that is to study the connotation of aesthetic culture.But,for a long time,we lack due attention and in-depth discussion on East Ha-ha Tune in cross regional growth.We often focus on the study of Ha-ha Tune within a certain administrative division,or as a part of the whole of Ha-ha Tune,we stay in the summary of pure art.As a result,it is difficult for us to touch its true features,so it can't play a strong support on protection and research of dramas.Therefore,this paper will take the problem as the guidance,and conduct an independent and systematic research on the aesthetic cultural connotation of East Ha-ha Tune from the perspective of "cultural region".That is to say,based on field investigation and literature records,combined with the academic accumulation of ethnomusicology,culturology,sociology,aesthetics and other disciplines,this paper will sort out the formation and development of East Ha-ha Tune,and on this basis further study artistic characteristics,aesthetic connotation,drama noumenon,aesthetic value and cultural attribute of the art,to present the panorama on the development of East Ha-ha Tune from the two directions of practice and theory.The paper consists of three parts:introduction,five chapters and conclusion.The introduction mainly
