The people of Zhuang sing folk songs instead of talking and express their feelings with singsing. Therefore,singing has become the core part of their daily life. In view of this, song studies become an important research point of Zhuang society. However, previous scholars mostly focus on the origin, the inheritance mechanism, the social functions and the cultural values of songs and so on, ignoring the emotional culture in songs.In fact, as one of the most emotional performance activities, singing not only directly points to the psychological level of emotional expression, but also through the exchange of emotional resources to achieve the purpose of the interaction between the inner and outer self, self and others, man and god, individual and society. The development of the singing culture is vividly portrayed by research theories and methods of Anthropology of emotion. Emotional researches are no longer relegated to the tool status study in social science and have the independent autonomy vividly. With placed in the great social background, the emotion is no longer a personal event. Emotions become the path of understanding the social system, which establishes the social legitimacy of emotional practice. Through the description and analysis of the similarities and differences between the emotional reaction, the researchers identify the interaction between emotions and cultural customs, social relations, which not only promotes the overall development of Anthropology, but also have a great significance on the comprehensive understanding of the human society. Emotional Anthropology analysis of Zhuanghuan breaks the traditional theories and methods which research respectively the physical and mental process of individual emotions and the social culture. This provides another perspective about emotional experiences, cultural systems and social structures and their relations on the basis of ethnography. Emotional Anthropology analysis of Maping Zhuanghuan which is a little-known village will start a new research about folk songs of the Zhuang.Although the specific emotion is one of the operational results of the individual sensory mechanism, the performance and reproduction of emotion is based on local knowledge, and Emotional responses associate specific people with social situations. Therefore, Anthropology need anthropology. Researchers save emotional energy with "insiders" in the surrounding of the local culture and grasp the emotional connotation of a series of social facts. Researchers need to take "Sympathy" into the sea of the song, to understand the emotional appeal of the local people and share their feelings, to understand their self narrative on emotional stimuli and interpersonal relationship and to avoid the seat with local, imagination and distortion avoid imaginations and distortions on the local cognitive schemata, which highlights the objects’ subjectivity and the inter-subjectivity of researchers and research objects.People driven by emotions communicate in the micro or higher level. Emotions are fundamentally in the individual mind, thus The emotional expression of individual subjectivity is the origin of Emotional Anthropology analysis of Maping Zhuanghuan. Through showing life consciousness and the mentality in the act of singing, researchers try to explore how the individual and others, society to interact and how to construct the interaction. Zhuang folk songs encourage people, especially women, continue to seek and confirm the gender identity. It ends up being "out". Firstly, as to the relations between the sexes, singing becomes the medium of bisexual emotional strategies, and love songs build a bridge of love and marriage. However, the incomplete correspondence between the emotions and morality provides an ambiguous space of the truth and the playful. Secondly, within communities, singing in the context of ceremonies and the daily life play a role in maintenance and adjustment of emotions and community relations in Ma Ping.Thirdly, outside the folk community, the extraversion mainly refers to the interaction between "the community as a whole", "marginal man" within cultural homogeneity, the "other" really from the outside of the community and the national strength. Maping Zhuanghuan as a revival of traditional culture is taken onto the stage, which not only shows the cultural changes under the influence of the process of modernization, but also plays a advantage of emotional diplomacy in an attempt to balance the emotional capital, cultural capital, economic capital and political capital,and even relations of the civil society and the state power.Folk custom is no longer "historical legacy". Emotional Anthropology analysis of Maping Zhuanghuan reflects humanities in social science and provides a field to understand the cultural and social relations, besides, it is helpful to adjust the imbalance of the modern way of life.
