Abstract

Taking the representative folk song “Hua’er” of Northwest China as an object, this study adopts semiotic theory and montage techniques to analyze the emotional and aesthetic value of the lyrics in depth. By examining the language art and rhetorical strategies in ‘Hua’er,’ the paper reveals how the lyrics play a crucial role in forming the song’s emotional resonance and cultural communication. The study shows that the symbolic and metaphorical language in the lyrics of ‘Hua’er’ not only enhances the expressive power of the music but also plays a vital role in maintaining and transmitting the cultural identity of the Northwest. In addition, the findings of this study are of practical significance for understanding the value of folk songs in intangible cultural Heritage and their preservation in modern society. It provides a new theoretical perspective on the creation and dissemination of folk songs and opens up new paths for future ethnomusicology and cultural studies.
