Abstract

Dong, one of the most important ethnic minorities in China, has a rich musical and cultural tradition. Among music created by the Dong ethnic group, Grand Song holds significant symbolic values, recording profound messages about life and nature and providing its participants with deep emotional experiences. In today’s digital world, where people have moved away from nature and where psychological stress has increasingly threatened people’s health, traditional musical heritage such as Grand Song of Dong ethnic group starts to present its potential not only as a connector between humans and nature, but also as a novel therapeutic means. The purpose of this paper is therefore to discuss the inheritance of Grand Song and to explore its influence on individual emotions, thus revealing its potential values in the field of music therapy. The paper explains the cultural significance and psychological effects of Grand Song from three aspects: the regulating effect and positive influence of Grand Song on both listeners and singers, and its application in traditional cultural inheritance, which deepens the understanding of the cultural values of Grand Song and its potential for application in music therapy. This paper reveals the dual role of Grand Song in emotional regulation and cultural inheritance, providing a new perspective and theoretical support for music therapy and the protection of cultural heritage.
