An Analysis Of The Path To Popularization Of Yi Folk Musi

Traditional folk songs are works of historical precipitation and are a reflection of the times.Pop is a symbol of high public acceptance in the current market.Tradition and pop seem to be contradictory,but trying to innovate based on tradition is the way to promote the renewal of tradition.Pop music is a popular culture that is easy to understand,easy to communicate,widely accepted by the public and has a strong spread.Through the integration of cultural space,the use of popular music forms and popular singing techniques into the songs composed by ethnic minorities is one of the innovative forms of ethnic popularization.In the rapid development process of modernization and urbanization,China’s minority folk music and regional culture are changing and decaying at an unprecedented speed.In such a research context,exploring how to inherit and protect minority folk music culture in a timely and effective manner has become an issue that needs urgent attention under the social policy of China’s ethnic community.As early as the 1990s,with the attempts of some predecessors in the fusion of ethnic music and popular music,ethnic folk music opened up a new way of inheritance.In this paper,we take the folk music culture of the Yi people in Liangshan and the popular music of the people as the research objects,and use the anthropological research method to take the "Sounds in the Wilderness" folk music collection project initiated by the author as a case study.The project is a case study of the relationship between folk and stage music of the Yi ethnic group and the process of popularization of Yi folk music from three aspects:field research process,analysis of the cultural background of music works,and the path of popularization of Yi folk music.Yi folk music needs to be innovated,disseminated and inherited.Then,how to popularize Yi folk music,how to integrate folk music with popular elements,and how to grasp the "sense of proportion" between the two become the most worthy questions to explore.In January 2019,the author launched the "Voices in the Wilderness" folk music collection project,leading a team to conduct fieldwork and collect folk music in remote areas such as the Yi region of Liangshan and Yunnan.First,the author will use the literature review method combined with years of field experiences in Sichuan and Yunnan Yi regions to explain the history of Yi folk music,folk culture,and the current status and difficulties of folk music transmission.Secondly,the author will use the case study method to analyze the concept of popularized creation of Yi folk music by using the music works composed by "Voices in the Wilderness" as a case study in combination with interviews in the folk field.Finally,through the analysis of the dissemination history of "Voices in the Wilderness",we try to find out the dissemination methods and advantages of niche music.At the same time,the history and future of Yi folk music and modern stage music will be reflected and summarized.The concluding section summarizes the process of popularization of "Voices in the Wilderness" in ethnic folk music,and elaborates on the relationship between folk and stage,the innovative methods of traditional and popular music,and the effective ways of spreading Yi folk music.Under the vision of new media,Yi folk music has been spread to a certain audience.However,the author believes that there is still a lack of high-quality Yi music.The modernization of traditional culture should be innovated with the trend of the times in order to be recognized and demanded by the market,and to create new and good works that meet the aesthetic requirements of the public by integrating the content and forms of the new era while preserving the tradition.With the feedback from the market,more and more practitioners will be created,and the cultural heritage will be solved to a certain extent.The balance between the needs of the audience and the quality of music cannot be lost in the market,and finding a way to sustain the development of ethnic folk music in the path of innovation is still a very important issue.
