Traditional drama is an important form of ethnic minorities’ traditional art. The traditional folk opera of Bai ethnic group,Chuichui Qiang,artistically reveals Bai people’s Benzhu worship,national identity,political identity,ethnic identity,gender relationship,aesthetic interest and moral ethics. It’s a typical case of Chinese dramas’ multi-racial and multi-regional dissemination and combination. It once prospered and deeply influenced Bai people’ s social life in the ancient times. But under the shock of modern culture,the transmission and protection of Chuichui Qiang faces difficulties like the loss of knowledge about the opera,the shortage of inheritors,the fade away of audience’s enthusiasm. With a comprehensive research angle,we must establish a cultural holistic concept and apply the approach of fieldwork in cultural anthropology while enhancing the research about transmission and protection of Chuichui Qiang.
