Main Article Content
Abstract
Background and Aim: This study aims to explore the integration of Mongolian musical elements with modern musical styles in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, analyzing the historical context of its formation, employing case studies to illustrate the evolutionary trajectory of Mongolian musical culture in contemporary society, and demonstrating how this fusion reflects and reinforces regional cultural identity. By synthesizing existing musical components, we dissect current manifestations of hybridized music, interpret the representational paradigms and symbolic significance of Mongolian musical elements in modern compositions, and examine their dynamic intertextual relationships within contemporary musical contexts. Grounded in the ontological essence of traditional Mongolian music, this research elucidates how such multicultural expressions achieve cultural inheritance, innovation, and reinvention through musical practices in the era of globalization.
Materials and Methods: This study investigates the integration of traditional Mongolian musical elements with modern musical forms, focusing on contemporary fusion practices of Mongolian musical elements in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Through a mixed-methods approach encompassing literature analysis, case studies, and auditory praxis, the research unveils the cultural logics underlying these hybridized musical expressions.
Results: The article dissects the contemporary manifestations of Mongolian fusion music, explores its dynamic intertextual relationships within modern musical contexts, and elucidates how such multicultural expressions achieve the inheritance, innovation, and reinvention of cultural DNA through music in the era of globalization.
Conclusion: The research highlights the temporal value of Mongolian musical elements and explores their potential for diversified interpretation and creative adaptation. Such musical synthesis not only mirrors the entrenched cultural ethos inherent in Mongolian music but also underscores its resilient adaptability and vitality within contemporary musical ecosystems.
