Study On The Music Form And Singing Of Northeast Manchu Folk Songs

This thesis takes the Manchu folk songs in the northeast region as the research object.Through the historical review and in-depth field investigation of the development of Manchu folk songs,combined with the existing related music literature,the Mango folk songs are analyzed and sung.Furthermore,the author thinks about the protection and inheritance of contemporary Manchu folk songs and proposes countermeasures.The specific chapters are as follows.The first chapter expounds the evolution of the Manchu folk songs in Northeast China.The production of Manchu folk songs,historical expressions and contemporary remains are closely related to the Manchu's historical development,religious beliefs,folk customs,and languages.The Qing Dynasty was an important period for the development of our national songs,far exceeding the previous generation in terms of quantity,quality and subject matter.Under the background of the comprehensive development of the folk songs of the Qing Dynasty,the Manchu folk songs also ushered in a period of prosperity and development.However,it was also in the Qing Dynasty that Manchu was on the verge of extinction,and the Manchu folk songs also showed a development trend that was not commensurate with the population of the Manchu population.The second chapter presents the results of the field investigation of the Manchu folk songs in Northeast China.The protection and inheritance of Manchu folk songs as intangible cultural heritage is imminent.The first thing is to have a comprehensive observation and understanding of the living conditions of Manchu folk songs.In this part,the author recorded the process of the field investigation in detail,and the interview area was spread across the Northeast.The interviewees not only had folk songs,but also related cultural workers and music teachers.Interviews with different regions and different objects provide a diverse perspective for examining the history and current situation of the Manchu folk songs in Northeast China.The third chapter deeply analyzes the music form of the Manchu folk songs in Northeast China.This chapter focuses on the subject matter and musical form of Manchu folk songs.The shamanic songs have profoundly influenced the formation and development of Manchu folk songs.Therefore,this chapter also focuses on the "musical characteristics" and "literature characteristics" of the shamanic songs.Through analysis and research,Manchu folk songs have the characteristics of a wide range of themes,the diversity of genre,the richness of the style,the gracefulness of the melody,etc.These characteristics make the Manchu folk songs have unique value.The fourth chapter analyzes the singing of the folk songs of the Manchu in Northeast China.This chapter examines Manchu folk songs in different language environments,in different ways,and in various performance scenarios.In order to deeply understand the traditional style,development characteristics and evolution trend of Manchu folk songs,this chapter also comparatively analyzes the music forms of Manchu folk songs and Ewenki folk songs,from the styles and structures of two specific music works of the Altai language Manchu-Tungus language group.And the logic to carry out research,and then find the similarities and differences and cultural origins of the Manchu and Ewenki folk songs in terms of music form.The singing of the Manchu folk songs in the Northeast shows the profound connotation of the Manchu culture,which is ancient,popular,compatible and original.The fifth chapter puts forward theoretical thinking and specific strategies for the modern inheritance of the Manchu folk songs in Northeast China.The inheritance methods of Manchu folk songs mainly include the natural inheritance of folklore,the inheritance in the performance and the inheritance in school education.The modern inheritance of Manchu folk songs faces challenges such as ecological changes in the process of urbanization,cultural reconstruction in commercialization performances,and cultural assimilation.The protection and inheritance of Manchu folk songs must not only be theoretically further innovated and guided,but also practically implement the maintenance of the rights and interests of the inheritors,the improvement of the protection mechanism,and the construction of the "non-legacy" protection consciousness.
