Characteristics of Tibetan music

Tibetans are a nation that can sing and dance well, and their songs are beautiful, broad and melodious. Tibetan music can be roughly divided into Buddhist music and folk music. The most famous Buddhist music is the ode-free melody sung by Lama.

Tibetan folk songs are loud and sound like a vast plateau and blue sky, with melodious tunes, but they are also dominated by five tones. Song and dance forms are "Guo Hesheng" and "Guo Zhuo" (Guo Zhuang). Some elements of Tibetan music have been absorbed by Han and Western music. Some Han composers imitated the characteristics of Tibetan music and created some songs, such as "Visiting New Cities" and "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau". In recent years, Tibetan songs in Tibet have also incorporated other musical elements. Besides Cai Danzhuoma and Han Hong, who mainly sing Chinese songs, there are many famous Tibetan singers, such as Rongjia, Yadong and Qiongxue Zhuoma.

In the aspect of drama, the traditional Tibetan opera King Gelsall has been excavated and performed.
