| Wooden Drum is a symbol of Wa nationality and the root of Wooden Drum culture. During the primitive society, Wooden Drum was maternal for nation identity, Wooden Drum culture combined other primitive culture and became the medial axis one. Succeeding1958's culture abolishment actions,Wooden Drum culture was far away from the Wa People's daily life and inherited only by ears and mouth among the folk. Intangible cultural heritage protection movement promotes Wooden Drum culture renaissance in the21st century, fulfilling a widespread inheritance by mass communication. Nevertheless, Wa Wooden Drum culture renascent has been changed and the effect of inheritance is alarming; the subject of the culture disapprove and even take hold of an antipathic view of this modern Wooden Drum culture. The modern Wooden Drum, as a kind of culture gene of intangible cultural heritage, loses its intrinsic sense of the history and nation identity. The present situation of Wa Wooden Drum culture is just the epitome of national culture modern heritance, there are lots of similar cases in the south-west areas even throughout the country. The existence of various culture is related to national life line continuation and preservation of cultural diversity, furthermore it's relevant to how to investigate the human civilization. Just for that, studying on the heritance of national culture is valuable in the modern society. Through a case study on the inheritance of Wooden Drum culture, we can settle the inheritance predicament and provide reference for culture inheritance in modern society. Based on this situation, these questions are worth to be thought, they are as fellows:How the Wa Wooden Drum culture produce? what means was used to inherit the culture in their history? why the Wa Wooden Drum culture was changed in modern renaissance? why Wa refuse to accept it now? what rules can we get from the huge contrast inheritance effect of the culture? According to these rules, what actions can we take for inheriting national culture?Communication is the most suitable research perspective for solving these questions. Because the procedure of culture inheritance is information communication, and the Wa Wooden Drum culture was generated and inherited by Drum, The essence of Wood-Drum Culture is a kind of auditory culture for it's formed and inherited by wood drum, this phonation and communication tool. So, Communication can unity them and we can get ordinary rules by this study. However, the systematic study on the generation and inheritance of Wooden Drum culture is almost vacant by the means of Communication. A few research achievements involving Wooden Drum culture belong to the field of Ethnonymics; the nature of Wooden Drum culture was defined as a king of primitive religious culture and the source and inheritance was attributed to the religion. It is advisable to define Wooden Drum culture as auditory culture so as to provide a reference for modern inheritance from the study of educational communication objectively.Unfortunately,there are so few research results of auditory culture that we can't solve those three question depending on existing materials. In this study, the author takes communication as a core subject knowledge, synthesizing field investigation, interviews, oral history, content analysis, isomorphism method, literature analysis and other multidisciplinary approach to analysis culture source and change history of the Wooden Drum Culture. The final goal of this research is to explore the operating rules of the Wooden Drum Culture source and inheritance mode, analyzing the real reasons of the dilemma of modern inheritance, and taking it as a case to provide reference for similar cultural inheritance. Meanwhile, this study is expected to enrich research achievement for auditory culture on educational communication and drum culture.For complete research target, the author designs process of research as follows:the first step is to obtain and arrangement materials on the history. Though fieldwork in Wa settlements as CangYuan and XiMeng of YunNan province, getting the authentic materials on the history of Wooden Drum Culture development and realizing the condition of modern inheritance. The second step is to analyse and construct the model for the source and inheritance of Wooden-drum culture;based on the fact of drum connecting the inheritance process as a whole by its own vocal nature of property, the source and inheritance model of Wooden-drum culture can be constructed in the dissemination of information angle. The third step is to verify the correctness of the model for the source and inheritance of Wooden-drum culture. Using the synthetic research methods of literature analysis, archaeological method and historical materials to obtain reliable materials of the Wa wooden drum culture. Base on the materials obtained, it is essential to confirm the correctness of the model from two angles of positive and negative. The fourth step is to answer those questions on the basis of validated consequence. If the source and inheritance mode comes into existence, it will be indispensable to summarize operating rules and provide a reference for national culture inheritance in modern times by exploring efficient method of the inheritance in the past and the reason of the fracture of inheritance at present.Through combing the history of source and inheritance of Wooden Drum culture, system communication mode setted and constructed is established, which the practical problems about source and inheritance of Wooden Drum culture are found out the answers according to. The specific research conclusions are as follows. First, history of the Wooden-drum cultural inheritance effect is ralated to its inheritance and dissemination way.The reason why Wooden Drum culture was passed down from one generation to another and existed as core culture was emphasis on system unity of culture source and inheritance. When generated, the element penetrates the point of "production" and forms a whole; when inherited, it communicates by the unity of substance-meaning and inheritance-acceptance materially and corporately. And even more important, the source and inheritance of Wooden Drum culture is based on the same cultural ecosystem and embodies the unity.Secondly, the fracture of culture inheritance stems from deconstruction of the relation among elements; the predicament Wooden Drum culture inheritance is related to deconstruction of the relation among elements such as irrespective substance-meaning, irrelevant inheritance-acceptance, isolated person-drum.Theses problems are on account of the need of mass communication involved, which deconstructs the relation among the elements. Finally, Wa Wooden Drum culture inheritance abides by the principle of system communication model; steming from and inheriting by the same things.The history of source and inheritance of Wooden Drum culture proves that Wooden Drum culture stems from and inherits by drum,the loss of symbol meaning necessarily gives rise to the failure in culture inheritance. The communication of Wooden Drum culture is dependent on symbol meaning of drum, the symbol meaning formulated is variety of custom which is related to the background of culture generation; the variation of background of culture causes the change of the custom inevitably and even the loss of the symbol meaning. Simultaneously, it is difficult to achieve exchange of information which is characteristic of coincident meaning, and to fulfill the effect of communication after symbol meaning loss.The process of any culture source and inheritance is on the basis of information dissemination. A case study on Wa Wooden Drum culture provides references as follows. First, there is certain rule for the culture source; the culture generation is a process which is satisfied with the external need and construct internally, the symbol meaning is endowed and restructured.At the same time, the culture generation is related to cultural habitat,the change of object and custom will bring about culture change. Therefore, the cultural renaissance and reconstruction should avoid copying and transplanting blindly, or it will lead to the fracture of culture inheritance. Secondly, the culture inheritance has certain path. The information dissemination is based on the medium of time or space, the national culture essence as human civilization needs the medium of time to inherit. If people, ignorance of this trait, extend and apply modern technology indiscriminately and blindly, it will bring about essential challenge to the inheritance medium, interfering with understanding of the human civilization finally.Finally, the key to culture source and inheritance is people; the culture inheritance is made up of information dissemination system which contains several chains as one, people is the most vulnerable segment. When modern technology used in culture inheritance, the screening, understanding and reconstruction of information by the native determines communications effect.Consequently, subjectival value and culture literacy is especially essential. Only if communication technology serves to culture inheritance, the purpose, promoting the person's development,of education will fulfill.Overall, this study has been basically completed the predetermined research target. In contrast with similar research, the innovation of this thesis embodies in two aspects:firstly, it is an innovation of research perspective. This Study defines Wa's Wooden Drum Culture as auditory culture and explores the source and inheritance problem in the perspective of Educational Communication instead of previous definition of religious culture essence to provides references for the auditory culture source and inheritance. Secondly, it is an innovation of research method.Through the review of former research on Education Technology, though it is advocated to apply ethnographic study method, the most of studies belong to pedantic research. This study, relied on fieldwork method and synthesizing many theoretical knowledge, is to find problems from the fact, analyse problems deeply and to solve the practical problems. The principle of education research such as from the fact to seek and to manage to the truth, is throughout this study. Besides, this kind of method is conducive to correct undesirable study ethos under realistic conditions of theoretical research in Education Technology. But it is able to research further deepen in the semiotics of auditory culture and auditory culture educational communication system so that the research conclusions can provide a wider significance reference for educational technology even educational discipline. In addition, although this study has already taken an interdisciplinary "cross" step in the research process, the join of various disciplines Knowledge are still somewhat blunt when analyzing the problems. It is the research direction for future efforts to apply multi-disciplinary knowledge and research methods more flexible and research the problems deeper and systematic.
