A Study On The Current Situation Of The Eight-tone Inheritance Of The Yongning Zhuang People

The eight sounds of the Yongning Zhuang ethnic group are mainly distributed in Pumiao Town,Nalou Town,Nalu Village and other areas in Yongning.Zhuang eight musical instruments are divided into blowing,percussion and silk strings.Among them,the wind playing class is mainly based on the whistle,supplemented by bamboo flute,long barrel,short barrel,screw flute and holeless flute.The main percussion categories are high-sided gongs,large gongs,tang drums,Yue drums,large gongs,Beijing gongs,wen gongs and so on.Silk strings are mainly based on Yangqin and Qinqin,supplemented by Zhongruan and Violin,which are the combination of Zhuang and Han musical instruments.Most of them serve folk activities such as weddings and funerals,blessings and birthday celebrations,and the performance forms are divided into line playing and sitting,and the playing style is divided into literary field and martial field,mostly based on the eight tones of the martial field.In 2006,Yongning Bayin was listed by the People’s Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region as the first batch of intangible cultural heritage protection projects.The eight sounds of the Yongning Zhuang ethnic group reflect the cultural life of the Zhuang people,which not only have important literary and artistic research value,but also play an important role in the life ceremonial activities and folk festivals in the Yongning area,and have important practical value.In recent years,with the change of entertainment methods in modern society,the lack of protection of intangible cultural heritage and the lack of professional talents,the Yongning Zhuang ethnic group is faced with problems in inheritance and protection: improper preservation of traditional eight-tone music scores,the reduction of eight-tone inheritors,the weak awareness of mass inheritance,and the incomplete inheritance content.The inheritance of the eight tones of the Yongning Zhuang people is facing the challenges brought about by the change of the times.On the basis of fieldwork,the paper analyzes the inheritance status and protection status of Yongning Zhuang octonics by means of field research,individual interviews,online questionnaires,etc.on the inheritance environment,basic content,inheritance subject,inheritance field and other aspects of Yongning Zhuang octonics.At the same time,on this basis,the relevant theoretical knowledge of anthropology and folklore is used to analyze the problems existing in the current situation of the eight-tone inheritance of the Yongning Zhuang people.Finally,he will discuss some of his humble views on the inheritance and development of the Yongning Zhuang eight sounds in the current social context,in order to contribute to the study of the inheritance of the Yongning Zhuang eight sounds.
