"Liu-yue-hui"(the sacrificial ceremony for the worship of the mountain god)as a Tibetan music and dance ceremo-ny represents the traditional culture of Huangnan Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Qinghai province,which encompasses cross-ethnic cultures with diverse aesthetic forms.As its procedures(the elements of witchcraft is embodied)and the details of its proce-dure(the ritual is embodied)in all texts become the symbols of the ancient mythology.There are three narrative structures in its music and dance culture.Firstly,it is the narrative of cultivation for the spiritual belief that involves the semantic expression of the music,which relies on the procedure and the performers of the ritual to achieve it.Secondly,it is the contextual narrative of cultur-al forms that takes the musical instruments in the ritual as the signifiers to achieve its symbolic functions.And thirdly,it is the emo-tional narrative for entertainment and aesthetics that involves the intertextual expression of music with the interaction between music language,sound,performance,and audience behaviors.
