The study also displays innovative practices where traditional folk songs are revitalized through contemporary music and film, enhancing their appeal and relevance in today’s cultural context. Additionally, the paper proposes strategies for promoting the survival and development of folk song vocal music, including strengthening educational initiatives, optimizing relevant support measures, and increasing public engagement. These strategies aim to foster a deeper connection with folk music traditions among younger generations and ensure their continued relevance. Ultimately, the integration of traditional and modern elements not only preserves but also invigorates Chinese folk song vocal music, suggesting a bright future for this cultural form in the modern era. Through detailed case studies and strategic recommendations, this paper provides valuable insights into the ongoing efforts to sustain and rejuvenate folk music heritage.
