An Investigation of the Development History of Northeastern Errenzhuan in China
Abstract
As a significant branch of Chinese folk art, Northeastern Errenzhuan carries profound historical accumulation and embodies the distinctive characteristics of Northeast folk culture. Against the backdrop of accelerating modernization and the influx of diverse cultures into the Chinese market, systematically mapping its developmental trajectory holds urgent academic value and practical significance for protecting this important intangible cultural heritage and understanding its artistic essence. This study employs literature review and case analysis methods, focusing on the evolutionary characteristics of Northeastern Errenzhuan during China’s modern and contemporary historical stages, and delving into the transformation of its artistic form and social functions. The research points out that the value of Northeastern Errenzhuan’s traditional repertoire as classical art needs to be cherished and inherited, while its adaptation to the contemporary wave of marketisation and entertainment constitutes a crucial space for its survival.
