Mongolian Folk Songs in Urban Culture:Popularization,Artistry,and"Elementalization"
Mongolian folk songs,which originated from the grasslands and yurts,have diversified and integrated with urban music culture as they adapted to city life.This integration has led to the formation of various performance forms,creating a unique urban cultural ecology in cities inhabited by ethnic groups such as the Mongols and Han Chinese.Firstly,the collective revelry on the urban stage:the popularization of Mongolian folk songs;secondly,the aesthetic interest fostered by professional education in the city:the artisticization of Mongolian folk songs;thirdly,the interculturalism within urban art integration:the"elementalization"of Mongolian folk songs(a concept borrowed from Carl Orff's concept and theory of"Elementar"as discussed in the following article).All three performance styles represent the fusion of two or more cultures,showcasing the beauty of their integration,described as"different yet harmonious."Popularized folk songs embody a mutual pursuit of beauty and pleasure;artistic folk songs achieve wider circulation with professional refinement while"communicating"with the elegant arts;and"elementalized"folk songs reflect a spiritual yearning and connection to an ancient simplicity.
