Abstract
This article is part of a thesis study titled "The Liao Songs of Zhuang People in Pingguo, Guangxi, China". The study aimed to investigate the history and development of Liao songs, using the qualitative research methodology and historical-cultural theory. The data collection was conducted in Pingguo county, Guangxi province, China, and the data were collected from scholars, composers, writers, educators, singers and Liao song enthusiasts. The result has shown that before 1400 many legends related to the origin of Liao songs existed. A standard form of Liao songs started to take shape in the 1950s and prospered from this period up to the 1980s due to China’s political and economic stability. However, during the years 1980-2000 the popularity of western music overshadowed that of Liao songs. In attempts to conserve and restore Liao songs, the Chinese government organized folk song festivals for Liao songs and included them in the school curriculum in Pingguo City, Guangxi Province. It could be said that Liao songs has gradually evolved from its previous heyday towards its decline and that the social function and status of Liao songs are becoming increasingly weaker. Liao songs, therefore, urgently need to be protected and repropagated.
