The Huaer song goes around in Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and Xinjiang. Many people sang it, such as Hui, Han, Sala, Baoan, Dongxiang, Tu, Yugu and Tibetans. Huaer is not only a particular song, but a folk culture. As the epitome of Northwest nationalities’culture, Huaer now has become a cross-time-space culture meshwork and a national culture system. From 1930s to the beginning of 1940s, as some monographs on Huaer had been published and Huaer’s lyrics had been collected, Huaer had drawn the pursuers’attention. The pursuers had studied from the aspect of huaer’s history, music, literature and folk-custom. Experts had their own views. In 1990s, as the folklore study pay its emphasis on the folk-custom study, the study of Huaer has come into the climax. But until now, many problems still has not been solved. The studie on Huaer from the aspect of literature, music, linguistic, aesthetics, is only one part of the Huaer studies. If we studied it only in this way, we would not find Huaer’s strong suit. This paper was written from the aspect of anthropology and analysis of historical cultural background, on basis of the first-hand materials. The writer tried her best to go into Huaer’s live world to find Huaer’s transmitting, development and changes, then evaluated it again. The paper consists of 6 chapters. The whole contents were divided into there parts. The introduction is the learning review, consisting of Huaer’s collection and study history. The first and second chapter make of the second part which probes into various factors about Huaer’s shaping from the aspect of folk culture ecology. The three part consisting of the third chapter, the fourth chapter and fifth chapter, which is this paper’s emphasis, mainly discusses how Huaer goes round and develops in the social circumstance, how the singers molds the young singers generation and generation, and what common characters they had. The study emphasis still deals with the spot and the singer in Huaer’s performance, the performances’ceremonial and criterion. The sixth chapter deals with Huaer song, Huaer concert and the nonmaterial culture protection. On the basis of the upper studies, I have given my own view on Huaer song. Huaer is the inevitable production in the historical and natural circumstance of Hehuang areas. In the multi-culture, Huaer had come into being and formed the abundant folk culture which is the main parts of Hehuang’s folk culture. Huaer which is the embodiment of the mass idealistic sensibility, is the main amusement manners in the life.
