Abstract
China is known as a nation with a strong tradition of poetry and folksongs. A style of folksong in Northwestern China, known as hua’er, is found among eight different ethnic groups and has hundreds of distinct melodies. Drawing on major Chinese studies of the genre, this paper examines poetic compositional techniques and musical styles of representative local traditions of hua’er. Aspects of lyrical and musical structure, content, and performance contexts are reviewed and synthesized, resulting in a unique examination of Chinese folksong research since 1949 on a major regional, multi-ethnic song form.
