音乐人类学的基本学术路径在于跨越音乐与文化之间,于文化中理解音乐和于音乐中体察文化。这对于当前的非物质文化遗产特别是音乐类文化遗产的保护研究有着重要启发意义。音乐类文化遗产的保护首先是音乐文化的传承问题,是音乐的审美教育和民族文化不断变迁的问题。所以,保护意味着不断传承、不断延续和不断更新。 The basic academic path to musical anthropology lies in the interplay between music and culture, the understanding of music in culture and the observation of culture in music. This is of great significance to the study on the protection of the current intangible cultural heritage, especially the musical cultural heritage. The protection of musical cultural heritage is firstly the question of the inheritance of music culture and the question of the aesthetic education of music and the continuous change of national culture. Therefore, protection means constant heritage, continuous renewal and continuous improvement.
