Abstract

Background and Aims: This study delves into the musical structure of Weifang Chinese folk songs within their contemporary social context, aiming to investigate the musical structure of Weifang Chinese folk songs in their current social context. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive methodology integrating ethnographic fieldwork, archival research, interviews, and musical analysis was employed. Fieldwork in the Weifang region involved observing folk song performances, interacting with local musicians, and documenting cultural practices. Archival research examined historical materials, while interviews gathered insights from folk musicians, community members, and cultural experts. Musical analysis and transcription techniques were applied to understand the intricate musical structures of Weifang folk songs. Results: The study revealed the diverse genres, expressive themes, and unique musical structures of Weifang folk songs, including the two-sentence, three-sentence, four-sentence, and multisentence patterns. The songs exhibited rich cultural tapestries, reflecting local customs, language traditions, and communal sentiments. Conclusion: Weifang folk songs have evolved to adapt to changing social dynamics, serving functions ranging from labor encouragement to educational inheritance and entertainment. The study underscores the significance of cultural heritage preservation programs and interdisciplinary collaborations to safeguard and promote Weifang's musical legacy.
