Man is the creator, owner and inheritor of Miao ancient songs. With the passage of time, most of the inheritors in Taijiang County are old, and even singers such as Wang Anjiang, Wang, etc. are no longer alive. This kind of danger of human death and song death must be recognized and valued. Because the ancient songs of Miao people are all recited orally, the singers are mostly illiterate Miao singers, but the performers are a group of cultural people. Therefore, as inheritors, the singer's living environment, social role, family structure, education level, outlook on life and values will all affect the inheritance of Miao ancient songs. For example, Wang Anjiang, an old man, was it accidental or inevitable that he met Miao ancient songs? This is inseparable from his living environment. Wang Anjiang was born in 1940, Taipan Township, Taijiang County. Studying abroad, my mother was seriously ill and finally went home to farm. In his time, there were many singers in Miao village. He studied ancient songs day and night and collected them by begging. In the years, he kept poverty and loneliness, and was regarded as an alternative by the villagers, but he remained firm: "Pass on the ancient Miao songs and never let them be lost." In the process of sorting out ancient songs, he will also modify and adjust the lyrics and add his own life experience. He compiled and published 12 Miao ancient songs, and collected more than 654.38+10,000 words of research data. It is precisely because there are outstanding singers with faith and feelings like Anjiang, the old Wang Man, that Miao ancient songs can be passed down from generation to generation.

(B) the status quo of inheritance channels

The inheritance ways of Miao ancient songs are divided into ancestral inheritance, family inheritance, mentoring inheritance and folk custom inheritance.

Ancestor inheritance is closely related to the witch culture of Miao nationality, which worships witches and ghosts, and needs to be sung in special ceremony occasions. Whether a singer can sing ancient songs at the meeting depends on whether the singer is blessed and blessed by his ancestors.

Family inheritance is the oldest and most direct way of inheritance, which is passed down from generation to generation by blood relatives of the family. This way of inheritance will lead to many singers in the family, and in this environment, there will be cultural awareness and sense of mission.

Compared with family inheritance, master-apprentice inheritance has broken through the boundaries of blood relatives and expanded the scope of inheritance. However, this requires a ceremony of learning from the teacher, and this ceremony is very strict and mysterious.

Third, effective measures to protect Taijiang Miao ancient songs

(A) expand the audience and space of Miao ancient songs.

With the rapid development of social economy and scientific and technological information, the communication between people and countries is getting closer and closer. Miao ancient songs have also entered people's field of vision and are well known to the outside world. Also let everyone see its cultural value. In the process of urbanization, the pace of life of Guizhou people is getting faster and faster, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger. Many national cultures are gradually returning and hope to return to natural life. This relationship between supply and demand has gradually formed an upsurge in the development of national culture. In reality, we also find that Miao ancient songs are far away.

Ancient historical memory remains are also influenced by current life scenes.

It meets the needs of people living in cities. So I'm in pain

In terms of volume and space, Miao ancient songs are not only facing Taijiang County.

People, but also can face the people in the town, and even international friends.

(2) Give full play to the role of the Nature Foundation.

"The material foundation determines the superstructure", whether it is inheritance or development.

All need material as accumulation. For Miao ancient songs, the natural environment

It is its foothold, and its material resources are the inheritance of Miao ancient songs.

It laid a solid foundation for innovation. So when we talk about Miao ancient songs,

When carrying out inheritance and innovation, we should first play the role of natural foundation, which is the land that nourishes the Miao nationality, while ancient songs are inherited by people.

The media of inheritance is also the spiritual source of people's creation. There is no natural job.

Based on this, there would be no Miao ancient songs today.

(3) Establish and improve the inheritor protection mechanism.

Miao ancient songs belong to oral living culture and need to be performed by people.

Inheritance, it is closely related to people. And now the Miao ancient songs.

Most of the inheritors are old and young people are unwilling to participate in learning.

It is imperative to protect the inheritors. With the participation of the government, Xu

Under the efforts and influence of many old inheritors such as Wang Anjiang and Liu Yonghong, it has been obtained.

Collected a large number of words and ancient songs, and built a chain of inheritance. Aim at the seedlings

The lyrics, tunes, forms and ritual processes involved in ancient national songs should be

Strengthen protection, and the government has issued relevant support policies. For the elderly in Anjiang and Liu Yonghong, Rainbow, they have devoted their lives to the inheritance and protection of Miao ancient songs.

People who care about and have made great achievements should be rewarded and added
