บทคัดย่อ

          The Zhuang people are known for their hardworking and courageous nature, with a rich history and a strong tradition of singing and dancing. Guangxi Zhuang Folk Songs, one of China's most traditional folk music genres, are a precious cultural heritage still vibrant today, listed as one of the national intangible cultural heritages.These songs feature diverse melodies, lively rhythms, intricate ornamentations, and profound lyrical expressions, presenting a unique artistic charm.
          On May 20, 2006, Guangxi Zhuang Folk Songs were officially recognized as part of the first batch of national intangible cultural heritages by the State Council, highlighting their significant cultural value. However, there are numerous issues in the teaching of Guangxi Zhuang Folk Songs, such as lack of systematic and scientific approaches.Researchers conducted teaching experiments at the Music and Dance College of Yulin Normal University in Guangxi. After interviewing Zhuang heritage bearers, they developed teaching guidelines and detailed lesson plans for the experimental teaching. Through preliminary teaching practices and midterm and final assessments, the researchers concluded that their teaching experiment was successful. The use of Guangxi Zhuang Folk Song teaching materials significantly improved students' learning outcomes and self-learning abilities, indicating the meaningful impact of such education for students pursuing careers in folk singing after graduation.
