参考译文
Hua'er
‘Hua’er’, dubbed‘the soul of the great northwest’, refers to the folk songs which are hugely popular in the western provinces of China, including Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, Xinjiang, and in Tibet. Originiating in mountainous areas like Linxia and Min County from the southern Gansu, the songs feature high tones that are held for a long time and carried far; they exude distinctive ethnic and regional characteristics. A whole host of images have been created using the music as well as the lyrics, which are often improvised employing figures of speech such as exposition, analogy, and touching imagery. Hua’er was included in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2006.
