Abstract

Hainan Li and Miao music constitutes a vital component of China's outstanding traditional culture, embodying the life wisdom, ethnic spirit, and cultural heritage of the Li and Miao peoples, while possessing unique artistic and educational value. From the perspective of cultural preservation, integrating Li and Miao music into kindergarten music activities serves as a crucial approach to promote the living inheritance of ethnic minority traditions, enrich preschool music education content, and cultivate children's cultural identity and aesthetic literacy. This study examines the integration of Li and Miao music into kindergarten music programs through the lens of cultural preservation and early childhood education. It analyzes practical challenges, including insufficient resource development, monotonous teaching methods, inadequate teacher competence, and lack of support mechanisms. By considering the physical and mental development patterns of 3-6-year-old children and the characteristics of kindergarten education, the research explores practical solutions through resource selection and adaptation, innovative activity design, home-school-community collaboration, teacher training programs, and evaluation system optimization. The findings aim to establish a systematic, operational, and localized integration model, providing theoretical support and practical references for developing distinctive music education programs and preserving Li and Miao musical traditions in Hainan kindergartens.
