Abstract:

The Xiangyun Tianfeng Mountain Song Festival preserves ethnic cultural memory, transmits intangible cultural heritage
values, and reconstructs rural cultural continuity through its annual collective practices as a folk festival. It vividly demonstrates the
evolving process and practical outcomes of how ethnic song festivals in Southwest China's multi-ethnic regions facilitate interaction,
exchange, and integration among different ethnic groups. From the perspective of cultural production of space, the dynamic
development of the Tianfeng Mountain Song Festival exhibits the following characteristics: Spatial practice has expanded radially from
the core area to surrounding regions. Representations of space reflect a transformation in cultural identity practices that transcend
ethnic boundaries. Representational space demonstrates a powerful spiritual cohesion and cultural integration function, reinforcing the
consciousness of the Chinese national community. With the contemporary transmission of the Tianfeng Mountain Song Festival, ethnic
groups such as the Yi, Bai, Miao, and Han engage in interaction, exchange, and integration through perceived, conceived, and lived
cultural spaces based on song, dance and music. This highlights the social function of the integration of intangible cultural heritage into
the development of rural cultural continuity.
