Qiang nationality is an ancient nation with excellent culture,which has been widely distributed in history.Nowadays,it mainly distributes in Maoxian,Wenchuan,Lixian,Heishui and Songpan counties in the eastern part of the Minjiang River basin in the upper reaches ofthe Yangtze River,Beichuan County in Mianyang and Danba County in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,and there are also a few Tongren areas in Guizhou.There are many Qiang people.The natural environment of the Qiang people is very bad.In the condition of the low level of social productive forces in ancient times,they lack knowledge and can not understand the mysterious power of nature.They both revere and worship nature.Therefore,the Qiang people's belief in "all things are spiritual" was born.They worshipped all the gods in nature,such as the gods of heaven,tree,water and so on.A series of sacrificial ceremonies were created to drive away filth and disaster and pray for good luck.The desire for a better life was placed on these ceremonies.They prayed to the gods for good weather,good harvest and success in everything.So as a medium of communication between man and God,Shibi plays an important role here.Shibi,known in Chinese as wizard and duangong,has the most important function of sacrificing and doing things.The Qiang nationality is a nation with language and no words.Shibi sings Sutras in sacrificial rites,linking some time from ancient times to modern times into one step of national history,so he is the core figure of Qiang culture."Qiang Confucianism Festival" is a traditional sacrificial ceremony of the Qiang nationality.The "Qiang Confucianism Festival" is translated from the Qiang pronunciation,and "Qiang" is the meaning of sacrifice.The smallest sacrificial activity is to kill the red cock(the red cock),which is called Yuku;the middle sacrificial activity is to kill the sheep,which means sheep;the largest sacrificial activity is called Niuku.At last,when offering sacrifices,the name of the sacrifices is not mentioned,which is called Confucianism.Starting from the natural environment of Aba Qiang District,this paper points out that the harsh natural environment has led to the belief that all things are spiritual,and thus many ceremonies have been produced,among which Confucianism Day is one.Several times,the author went deep into the Qiang District to take serious photographs of the ceremony of Confucianism Festival,and recorded in detail the whole process of Confucianism Festival,and wrote the ethnography.In the third chapter,the music in the ceremony of Confucianism Festival is added,such as Suona's welcome tune,sacrificial songs,Buddhist scriptures and so on.Among the existing articles on traditional Qiang rituals,there is little research on music,which is also an innovation of the author's thesis.Then it uses the theory of ethnomusicology to explain the cultural significance behind the ceremony.The last part of the paper is the author's reflection on the survival status of Qiang culture,the lack of Shibi heirs,the lack of successors,the lack of successors,the imminent extinction of Shibi culture,and the increasing commercialization of Confucianism.With the rapid development of society,highways lead to the depths of Qiang Mountain.One day,the natural cutting has changed.Where is the traditional ancient Qiang culture going?...
