Exploratory Research on the Practice of Introducing Zhuang Baidan Culture into Primary School Music Classrooms

As an important carrier of Zhuang ethnic group’s intangible cultural heritage, the Zhuang pole dance encapsulates the collective memory and ethnic wisdom of rice culture. With its lively rhythm, simple movements, and vivid form, it possesses significant potential for educational transformation. This study, based on a three-year systematic exploration at Jiangbei Primary School in Nanning City, deeply analyzes the value implications, practical bottlenecks, and solutions for integrating the Zhuang pole dance culture system into primary school music classrooms. The research finds that by constructing a trinity teaching model of “cultural cognition foundation, skill learning consolidation, and innovative expression sublimation,” it is possible to effectively alleviate core difficulties such as insufficient teacher qualifications, shortage of curriculum resources, low student interest, and inaccurate evaluation systems. Practical results show that this approach not only significantly enhances students' sense of rhythm, collaboration ability, and innovative thinking but also fosters a deeper sense of ethnic cultural identity and self-confidence among students. Based on this, this paper proposes that in the future, efforts should be made to build regional teaching and research communities, develop integrated digital resource libraries, and improve long-term school-local collaboration mechanisms to promote the systematic and ecological inheritance of such ethnic traditional cultures from “entering the campus” to “living in the campus”during the basic education stage.
