Virtuous and filial piety. It occupies an extremely important position in Qinghai folk tunes, because of its different tunes, performance contents, and production regions, it is usually called "Xining Xianxiao" in Xining, and "Hezhou Xianxiao" in Hezhou (now Linxia).

In addition to the main "Xining Xianxiao tune", Xining Xianxiao has also absorbed the "old strings" in the long-term development process"Official strings", "lower strings","Lotus Falls" and other four ancient tunes. The tunes of these small songs have been deliberately innovated by folk artists, and they are unified and harmonious with the style of Xining Xianxiao tunes, which greatly enriches the tunes of Xining Xianxiao tunes. The main repertoire of Xining Xianxiao originates from the "treasure scroll" of folk tales in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there is a song that begins with the lyrics of Xianxiao: Hanging to be wonderful, half-void to build a flyover, everyone has crossed the flyover, I don't know if the flyover is firm? The wolf in the front mountain and the wolf in the back mountain, the two insects are in the hill, the wolf insect is difficult to save the Merlot, and the Merlot is difficult to hide. Don't think about the wolf, the wolf's heart and dog lungs will soon grow ......It can be seen from this"Virtuous and filial piety. "The name is obtained by abandoning evil and promoting good, and praising filial piety. Xining's important works of Xianxiao, such as "White Parrot Brother Hanging Filial Piety", "Zhao Wuniang Eats Bran", and "Fang Siniang" are all changed from the Ming and Qing Dynasty treasure scrolls "Parrot Treasure Scroll", "Zhao's Xianxiao Treasure Scroll", and "Fang Sijie Treasure Scroll".

In Xining Xianxiao, the long work is called "Great Biography", which can be sung for seven or eight nights in a row, and is deeply loved by the masses.

It is a Taoist song, and the accompaniment instruments of Qinghai Taoism include fishing drums, simple plates, banhu, flutes, sanxian, dulcimers, etc. The lyrics are mainly composed of seven-character sentences with excellent structure, including "reciting poems", "rhyme", "singing words" and "reciting poems". In between raps, there are also interludes such as emotional local folk songs, minor keys, and brand songs with the development of the storyline to enhance the atmosphere of the story or express some kind of off-string sound. The main tunes are "Yin Cavity" and "Yang Cavity", and the style is unified, beautiful and euphemistic. Traditional repertoire such as "The Legend of Xiangzi" and "Zhuangzi's Wife Visit", etc., the words and sentences are concise and vivid, the story twists and turns are touching, and the songs are more than 2,000 lines.

Pour river water. Its name is ** in the folk artist's smooth and rhymed rap skills, like a river going straight down and gushing endlessly. "Pouring river water" is similar to saying a quick book and slipping away. The rhyme is flexible and the rhythm is clear. The artist holds two bells (called Zhan'er in dialect), and he can open his speech everywhere in the streets and alleys, temple fairs, markets, and kang fields. When the bell rang, the audience gathered, happy and laughing. "Artists who pour river water" often have the ability to see the scenery and express chapters, and their distinctive dialect characteristics and strong local flavor make it very attractive.

Pour river water. "It reflects a wide range of social life, from the white description of the characters to the celebration eulogy, life anecdotes, mountain and river wonders, news stories, current political affairs, and historical events. Among them, the passage that reflects some major events that have occurred in the modern history of the region is the mainstream of "pouring river water". For example, the works "Yuanshan Rebellion", which reflected the peasant uprisings in Huangzhong and Xining at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, and "Dong Waxmaker" and "The Nationalist Army Went to Qinghai", which reflected the difficult life of the people, all had a wide influence among the people. The song "Big Smoker" is very distinctive.

Disturb. This is a short, humorous variety of local opera in Qinghai. In the singing of long-form songs, in order to regulate emotions and ease the atmosphere, artists often pause the main song in the sad part of the plot and insert a fast-paced and funny short paragraph instead. This sudden change, although it interrupts the coherence of the original storyline, brings joy and relaxation to the audience, hence the name "Disturber".

The tune of Qinghai "Disturbing" is based on the "Big Lotus" tune in "Qinghai Yue Xian", and necessary reforms and innovations have been made in the rhythm. Its sense of rhythm is stronger, bright and jumpy, which is very suitable for expressing those funny, funny, and humorous life stories, and satirizing the unreasonable and immoral phenomena in life in a bold, pungent, fantastical, and exaggerated way. There are nearly 100 "Disturb" tracks. The main repertoire includes "Humble Wife", "Langdian", "Scolding Chicken", "Lazy Sister-in-law", "Paying Off the Debt", "Troubled House", "Blind Date", "Catching the Husband" and so on.
