Crying songs, as the product of Tujia culture, reflect all aspects of our national minority life. They are the pride of ordinary people and the passion of art researchers. In recent years, the majority of minority folk art lovers and workers have traveled mountains and rivers to explore and sort out all kinds of crying songs in Guizhou. The second creation and update of professional musicians brought new life to Crying Songs. This paper takes the weeping songs of Tujia nationality in Heping Village of Sinan County as the research object, investigates its development status, understands the artistic connotation of crying songs, and studies the inheritance and protection of Crying Songs.
