The Qingyang suona,characterized by its suona-led drum music and rooted in Gansu Province's Qingyang,was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage by the State Council in 2006.This study examines the Zhiqu and divertimenti within the Qingyang Suona Qupai,with a specific focus on the dynamics of musical structure as evidenced in both performances and notated scores.A comparative analysis of representative pieces,such as Xiao Kaimen and Dan Shui,is conducted alongside an examination of the structural components—introductory,central,and concluding segments—in both documented and performed divertimenti.The research further extrapolates the inherent flexibility of the Qingyang suona's musical structure,elucidating the sociocultural factors underpinning this adaptability.
