Abstract


This study focused on the preservation and transmission of Jinqian Ban in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. The study employed a qualitative research method, which involved conducting interviews and making observations. Furthermore, it used ethnomusicology theory.

Efforts include recording songs, archiving performances, and providing platforms for musicians through governmental and community initiatives. Transmission strategies emphasize education, with Jinqian Ban incorporated into school curricula and university programs to engage younger generations. Collaboration between expert inheritors and music educators ensures the continuity of traditional teaching methods, while school-based activities cultivate a broader base of practitioners and enthusiasts. Publicity efforts, including competitions, exhibitions, and digital media, enhance the visibility and appeal of Jinqian Ban. Additionally, integrating the art with local tourism highlights its cultural heritage, offering new opportunities for performers and expanding its audience. This research underscores the importance of a collaborative, multifaceted approach in preserving and transmitting Jinqian Ban, ensuring its relevance in contemporary contexts while maintaining its authenticity.
