Abstract:

The Chinese nation has 5000 years of history and culture, carrying the historical development of various periods and has a broad and profound Chinese culture. As a part of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, the intangible cultural heritage is the key to improving the national cultural soft power and plays a decisive role in future cultural communication. The construction of ‘Belt and Road’ has provided a lot of opportunities for national development, and countries along the ‘Belt and Road’ have benefited a lot from it. National culture, as an important element, reflects the cultural level of a country. The study and protection of history and culture have shown the brilliant process of national development. In Xunhua and Hualong counties of Qinghai Province, long-honoured Salars gather, who inherit the traditional culture through oral transmission. Salar folk songs are one of the national intangible cultural heritages. They combine the elements of Tibetan, Han, Mongolian, and religious music. Salar music is diverse, rich in content, and unique, forming a unique charming culture. This article studies the display of cultural heritage elements in Salar music of Qinghai Province through the intangible cultural heritage perspective of ‘Belt and Road’.
