在我国悠久的音乐文化史中,豫西南民歌曾有着辉煌灿烂的成就。近年来,随着我国经济建设的不断深入,对“非物质文化遗产”的保护也更加重视,抢救和挖掘了一大批有特色有影响的民间艺术。作为一名音乐教育工作者,作者深入豫西南地区,对豫西南民歌现状进行了实地采访调查。通过调查发现,豫西南民歌目前的生存状况令人堪忧,民歌数量和体裁大幅度萎缩。像豫西南民歌这样极具特色的民间艺术还没有得到足够的重视和保护。作者急呼,政府和社会各界应采取积极的措施来保护豫西南民歌,使豫西南民歌这株艺苑奇葩开放得更加绚丽。 In our country’s long history of musical culture, Southwest folk song has had brilliant achievements. In recent years, with the continuous deepening of China’s economic construction, the protection of the “Intangible Cultural Heritage” has also been paid more attention, and a large number of folk art with unique characteristics has been salvaged and dug up. As a music education worker, the author went deep into the southwestern Henan province and interviewed the status quo of Southwest folk songs in the field. The survey found that the current living conditions of Southwest folk songs are worrisome, the number and genre of folk songs have shrunk dramatically. Like Southwest folk songs such a very unique folk art has not been enough attention and protection. The author urgently urged the government and all sectors of society to take active measures to protect folk songs in southwestern Henan and to make the Southwest Folk Song, a beautiful flower of the art gallery, more ornate.
