Abstract

This article studies the impact of contemporary social changes on Yao's traditional ritual music and ethnic characteristics. On the one hand, Yao prayed for the catastrophe, the Yao people kept taboos, continued to use traditional ritual music to worship their ancestors, and continued ethnicity in order; on the other hand, driven by the tourism economy, Yao ritual music was transformed and reconstructed A form of dispelling witchcraft appears, and there is still an interactive relationship between the “reproduced” music and ethnic expression in this recreating context
