Study on the Ecological Emotions in Mongolian Desert Folk Songs

Inner Mongolia is the largest and most diverse ecological functional area in northern China. Mongolian folk songs often express gratitude for nature, praise nature, reflect on life, promote ecological balance, and highlight the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature. This paper analyzes 553 folk songs from the collection Five Hundred Mongolian Folk Songs, focusing on the "ecological emotions" embodied in the desert folk songs that hold a significant position in Mongolian folk music. The study explores the mechanisms of these ecological emotions, their practical significance, and the role of Mongolian folk songs in ecological protection, emphasizing the contemporary relevance of the ecological culture reflected in these songs.
