白马藏族,是一个具有悠久历史和独特民俗风情的少数民族,其民间文学艺术内容涵盖于民间信仰、生活、节日、娱乐等文化的每一个角落,形式上更多地保留了原生态文化性质。白马藏族民间文学艺术创作和展示受本民族生活模式、语言、行为和心理等文化语境因素的影响,形成了独特的符号语言体系。自上世纪初到本世纪初的近百年间,陇南白马藏族的民间文学艺术文化随着时代的变迁与现代文学艺术相融合,民间文学艺术品逐渐商品化,并在传统的基础上增添新的内容和色彩。

A unique cultural environment is a soul-like factor functioning in the creation of folk literature and art, and artistic works will bear different significance accordingly as a result of such different aspects like time, place of creation as well as feelings and desires of the creator. As elements of the visually in-dependent symbolic system, lines and colors in artistic works bear primitive thinking characteristics of the human beings and are common to be socially recognized, while demonstrating a unique implication of the works themselves. The artistic value of folk literature and arts lies in its original creativity; the further the creator＇ s personal spirituality expands, the more viability will be extended, and the more original cre- ativity will be demonstrated, and consequently, the work itself will be much more valuable.
