宁夏地处祖国的西北,历史上是中原与西北少数民族地区的交汇之地,汉族和戎、狄、羌、回等少数民族杂居于此,著名的丝绸之路也从宁夏经过。由于其地理位置的特殊性,宁夏不但是历代边防重地,也是我国历史上行政区划变化最多的地区之一。因此,宁夏的民间音乐不单与中原音乐有较深的传承关系,同时也受到西域和北方少数民族的影 Ningxia is located in the northwestern part of the motherland. Historically it was the place where the Central Plains and the Northwest Minorities met. Han and Rong, Di, Qiang and Hui minorities lived together here.
