          This research is a pedagogical study centred around Tujia folk songs, using a mixed qualitative and quantitative research methodology. The qualitative study analysed literature and interviewed key informants to understand the current state of research on Tujia folk songs. The content of the teaching guide book and the data from the teaching experiment were comparatively analysed through the quantitative study to arrive at the experimental results. In the social context of intangible cultural heritage and the protection and inheritance of Tujia folk songs, and in the environment of the development of vocal music teaching in Chinese colleges and universities, four research objectives were identified: To study Tujia folk songs, To construct Guidebook for teaching Tujia Folk Songs for Undergraduate Students,To experiment for teaching by using Guidebook of Tujia folk songs ,To evaluate teaching by using Guidebook for Tujia Folk songs.
          This study focuses on the Tujia folk songs of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hunan Province. Through interviews with Yan Shuihua, a national-level inheritor of Tujia folk songs in Shuangfeng Village, Yongshun County, Hunan Province, we learnt about Tujia folk songs, such as the types of Tujia folk songs, their singing styles, and singing methods. By analysing and summarising the knowledge and data gained from the literature and interviews, the researcher prepared the Teaching Guidebook of Tujia Folk Songs, and three experts assessed the contents of the Teaching Guidebook of Tujia Folk Songs, after which the researcher carried out a teaching experiment in Hebei Polytechnic Institute.
          By analysing and comparing the data and results of the teaching experiment, it is found that it is meaningful to construct a guide book for teaching Tujia folk songs and carry out the teaching experiment, which not only promotes the growth of students' knowledge and the improvement of their singing ability, but also promotes the dissemination of the Tujia national culture, which is conducive to the preservation, inheritance and development of the Tujia folk songs.
