“Yi” Music and the Teaching Methods of Folk Music in China

Abstract

          In Chinese traditional culture, folk music is an important component and carrier of cultural inheritance. Among the 56 ethnic groups in China, the cultural development of each ethnic group is determined by certain economic and political factors, which in turn act on them and impact them. Yi is one of the ethnic minorities in southwest China. It has a long history of thousands of years and has written language. The new curriculum standard of primary school music emphasizes embracing the multi-ethnic culture and inheriting the traditional Chinese culture. It can be found from the relevant documents of education that the country and society attach importance to the inheritance of culture. Therefore, by combining the local folk music resources with the school curriculum, the folk music resources can be fully inherited and developed.
