Primitive folk songs reflect the social life of various periods and regions. They are not only witnesses of time, but also inheritors of culture. However, with the rapid development of modern society, these precious musical arts are at risk of being submerged. It is the top priority at present to continue to sing these songs with distinct regional characteristics and profound historical background in the wave of a new era full of change to make them got more attention and not be forgotten by time. This paper aims to explore the cultural value of primitive folk songs, expound their status in modern society and the way of protection and inheritance, hoping to find a more stable destination for this valuable cultural heritage.
