Hua'er is a kind of folk song that generated and circulated at the junction of Gansu, Qinghai and Ningxia provinces .Its content reflects the customs and the standards in conducts of the people in the region where "Hua'er" has been prevalent . So far as its form is concerned, "Hua'er party" provides a performance stage for the Hua'er singers. Every Hua'er partyis a collected performance of the traditional art.Hezhou-style "Hua'er" is one kind of Hua'er, and it play an important role that cannot be ignored in the heritage of Hua'er. In my opinion,The "Songmingan Hua'er party" of Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture in Gansu Province is a typical example of "Hua'er" performance form in the respect of historical heritage and cultural expressiveness. So we maybe discover some substantial matter of "Hezhou-style Hua'er" even "Hua'er" in general meaning. "Hua'er party" usually relate with some large-scale religious activities of the Buddha or Taoism temple .The same is the "Songmingyan Hua'er party".At beginning "Songmingyan Hua'er party" had catered to people's belief demand to a certain extent, just as a kind of derivative that keeps complicated relation with religion. In my opinion , along with the developing of history and the transformation of cultural, certain religious significances had been stripping gradually form people's spiritual life, and "Hua'er" as well as "the Hua'er party" own cultural significance little by little. There is one kind of unique phenomenon: derivatives of religious activities, but "Hua'er" is actually having the independent cultural function and he social function. It is an interesting phenomenon which is worth inquiring into.Through massive field investigation , weihgtwords,and reciting these "Hua'er" ,I have realized that as one kind of unique artistic form, the playing of its social function's and cultural significance exactly depends on its happy emotions ,warm singing which is simple but reflect the daily life world . Without a doubt, this is precious inspiration for today's awkward situation , which are the atrophy of some traditional arts' culture connotation and some precious cultural forms have been materializing and simplified. For "Hua'er", it is important to seize the opportunity to preserve it scientific management means before its obvious deterioration as soon as possible and mobilizes and organizes each strength, enables this folk culture to be no lack of successors to carry on. This is my heartfelt desire.For the research method, this article makes every effort through the massive first material to present the artistic and cultural context candidness of "Hua'er" objectively, seeking the value of "Hua'er"on ontology. For my shortage on the knowledge storage and scholastic accomplishment ,the seeking above may be specious, however, this is really a meaningful attempt in any event for me .
