ABSTRACT

China has a long history, and traditional music plays an indispensable role in such a long history of civilization. Especially in the minority areas, civilization is often passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth through music. With the development of economy, rural urbanization and the change of educational methods, this kind of minority music is in an embarrassing state of gradual extinction. Enshi is a region where Tujia people live in compact communities, and it is also a region with rich folk songs. How to better realize the inheritance and development of Tujia folk songs in the new period is an urgent problem to be solved. Enshi's traditional folk songs are simple and unsophisticated, with unique national style and regional characteristics, and are the cultural symbols of the region. Colleges and universities play an important role in the inheritance and development of traditional folk songs in the region. It is of great practical significance and application value to introduce Enshi traditional folk songs into the teaching practice of music majors in the school, so that it can inherit Enshi traditional folk songs and enrich the teaching content of music majors by virtue of the teaching platform of music majors in university, and expand students' understanding of regional traditional music culture.
