在湘西民间传统艺术中,湘西苗歌作为湘西苗族人民语言艺术的珍宝有着它独特的民族魅力,它题材广泛,体裁丰富;腔调独特,韵律多样。但是鉴于湘西苗歌无书籍文字记录,苗族文化被汉化的情况比较严重,年轻人大多不愿学,以及苗族文化缺乏地方政府的重视等传承现状,湘西苗歌的传承道路有些艰难。 In the traditional folk art of western Hunan, the folk songs in western Hunan, as the treasures of the language art of the Miao people in the West of Hunan, have their unique national charm. They have a wide range of subjects and rich genres. They are unique in tone and diverse in rhythm. However, in view of the lack of books and records of Miao songs in western Hunan Province, the Miao minority is being Chineseized, the majority of young people are unwilling to learn, and the Miao culture lacks the inheritance status of local government.
