Abstract

Huizhou folk songs are folk oral art created by the people of Huizhou, chanted in dialects, and memorized by mouth. It carries the emotional and cultural identity of Huizhou people to their hometown. However, under the impact of modern digital technology, information technology, and network technology, Huizhou folk songs, which rely on the unique cultural space to be passed down in memory and skill, are facing the realistic dilemma of "limited understanding, low sense of identity, and difficulty in promotion". Starting from the theory of cultural identity, this topic studies the interaction of various cultural elements (symbols, media, fields), integrates the identification symbol system of Huizhou folk songs from the micro level, and expands the culture of Huizhou folk songs at the meso level. The choice of media for identification; and then at the macro level, the cohesive structure of the cultural identity of Huizhou folk songs will be constructed to form a communication framework model of "symbols, diffusion, and groups". From point to surface, a multi-dimensional and multi-field combination of Huizhou folk rhyme inheritance cultural community is formed.
