广西文化旅游之兴起对当地壮族民歌的影响

The Impact of the Growing Cultural Tourism of Guangxi on the Local Folk Songs of Zhuang Ethnic Group

近十几年来，文化旅游逐渐兴盛起来，深受广大旅游者的喜爱。广西拥有优越的自然风光与人文资源，可谓是开发文化旅游得天独厚的条件。被誉为“壮乡”、“歌海”的广西，无论是哪一种文化旅游形式，都无不与壮歌相结合。与此同时，当地壮族民歌也得到了关注、保护和发展。

With the economic growth, and in particular, with the process of mechanization, industrialization, modernization and urbanization, which have all led to the destruction of small-scale peasant economy, folk songs of the Zhuang ethnic group in Guangxi Autonomous Region in south-west China, once so much reliant on various customs and folklores of the agricultural society, are now losing its soil and nutrient for living. It is at this critical moment of extinction of this art form that the development of cultural tourism in Guangxi has helped to bring about a favourable change for the inheritance of Zhuang folk songs. Let us take the example of the singers of 'Heiyi Zhuang' (or 'Zhuang minority in black') for the ' Heiyi Zhuang' cultural tourism in Napo County. Before tourism of such kind was introduced, the local Zhaung minority people had to make a living on farming and animal husbandry. Folk songs were heard often in daily work, June Festival, weddings or funerals. On these occasions of getting together, the singers of the ' Heiyi Zhuang' would pass on the folk songs to those who shared the same working condition and life experience. In other words, the disseminators and listeners share the same system of folk song symbols. These singers were thus engaged in direct dissemination. After the cultural tourism was introduced here, some of the Heiyi Zhuang singers turned to be actors, performing folk songs in special performance locations. Then those to whom they present folk songs are tourists with different cultural backgrounds, living in different cultures. Hence, the singers become the indirect disseminators of Zhuang folk songs. Nevertheless, these singers did not break away with original living condition in their daily life and work. Their connection and interaction with other cultures from other areas are relatively little, and they are scarcely influenced by outside people. Therefore, they can still keep their won traditions and aesthetic concepts, and their singing can naturally be more spontaneous and closer to the original style of folk songs.
