| Huaer
refers to the Xining people's favorite folk songs,
sung to unburden themselves and express their
happiness, misery, wishes, and ideals in life.
Huaer is a legacy from the oral tradition of
the highland people, which include rich legends
and stories. These songs were invented, refined
and passed on in the course of daily life and
work.
They provide first-hand source material for
researchers of folk customs, aesthetic and the
psychology of the local people.
The main theme of the Huaer songs is love. However,
because the songs tell about various subjects,
the singing style varies as well, Huaer songs
are harmonious, evocative and admired by all.
On most of the traditional holidays, you can
find Huaer festivals going on everywhere. You
are welcome to participate and enjoy the flavor
of this festival, which is unique to the highlands.
