Abstract

The DiziDiao of Hebei local opera in China is the title of the Luoluo Qiang after entering Guanzuo Village, Raoyang County, Hengshui in history.According to literature records, the Luoluo Qiang originated from three branches, forming different musical and artistic characteristics.However, which branch of the Luoluo Qiang originated from the DiziDiao was worth examining. In this paper, by consulting the relevant literature and the research on the Dizi Diao, the researcher found that the Dizi Diao had a more significant relationship with the Northern Xiansuo Qiang. There are many similarities between the mode singing style of the DiziDiao and the Cental-Southern Sixian Xi of the Northern Xiansuo Qiang in terms of lyrics structure, singing style, mode, and falling notes.
