Contemporary Inheritance Of Inner Mongolia Errentai Art

Errentai,popular in the four provinces and regions of Jin,Shaanxi,Inner Mongolia,and Hebei,originated from the "Walking West" culture.The Errentai in Inner Mongolia is a collision between nomadic culture and agricultural culture,and an artistic product of the fusion of Mongolian and Han ethnic cultures.On the basis of Han folk songs,it also absorbed Mongolian long tune and short tune folk songs and developed into a local drama.The current research on Errentai in the academic community can be roughly divided into three aspects: sorting out its historical and cultural background,as well as its current status of preservation and inheritance,and the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.There is relatively little overall research on the contemporary inheritance mechanism of the Errentai.More than a hundred people participated in the research or investigation before and after.The paper analyzes the inheritance groups,methods,contents,and types of Errentai art,which is still active in the northern Xinjiang region of China,from the interdisciplinary perspective of music anthropology and ethnomusicology.It also explores the contemporary inheritance problems and relevant suggestions of Inner Mongolia Errentai art,and clarifies the direction for the next step of Errentai inheritance and protection.The writing framework of the paper is:The introduction section elaborates on the reason for the topic selection and research significance of the paper,clarifies the current research status and problems in the academic community,identifies theoretical innovation points,constructs one’s own research ideas and theoretical framework,and lays the foundation for this paper.The first part introduces the historical development of Errentai,sorts out the origin,development,and "intangible cultural heritage" stages of Errentai,and emphasizes the recognition of the "Inner Mongolian origin theory" of Errentai.It is clear that the research focus is on the inheritance groups,methods,contents,and types of Errentai.In the second part,it was learned that most of the actors on the duet are from Inner Mongolia.Students are satisfied with the current learning atmosphere,and the main force of current active actors on the duet is mainly concentrated in middle-aged and middle-aged people.They are confused and concerned about the current salary income,the aging audience of the duet,how to produce high-quality new plays,how to become top performers,insufficient energy to learn,and the mutual conversion between roles.In terms of the inheritance methods of the Errentai,in addition to traditional theatrical troupe masters leading apprentices and self-study,there is currently a professional school education for Errentai in places such as Ulanqab,Baotou,Hohhot,and it has developed on a large scale.It has already exported a large number of professional Errentai actors to society.We hope to clarify the contemporary inheritance methods required for Errentai art through research.The third part is to participate in the promotion and performance activities of the duet,clarifying that the performance of the troupe has made a certain contribution to the contemporary inheritance of the duet,but it also faces problems such as a lack of high-quality actors and a new generation of audience,low salary levels for actors,and more performance tasks.At the same time,there is a market demand for the art of the Errentai among the people,and the existing audience can still support the commercial performance activities of the folk troupes.But it remains to be debated whether the audience will still be so enthusiastic in the next few decades.The fourth part provides suggestions for improving the treatment of actors,organizing training,maintaining dialect singing and configuring subtitles,cultivating audiences,and vigorously developing Errentai school education in response to the many problems faced by the proposed inheritance groups,inheritance methods,and inheritance content.The paper aims to elevate the focus to the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage of Errentai,enhance the academic theoretical level,and make the paper more practical for the inheritance,protection,and development of Errentai.
