Abstract

The Qiang liquor songs in Beichuan are an extremely important core carrier of the Qiang musical culture, bearing the profound connotations of daily emotional expression and cultural identity. Based on music scores, local historical records, and academic research results, this paper adopts theories related to music morphology and historical anthropology to comprehensively and meticulously analyze the characteristics of their musical forms, sort out the specific context of their historical evolution, and further explain their cultural functions. The study concludes that the changes in the form of liquor songs are closely related to the historical circumstances of the Qiang society, and their cultural functions possess both the characteristics of traditional continuity and the nature of adaptation to the times, which provides a very typical case for an in-depth understanding of the survival laws of ethnic minority musical cultures.
