Abstract
The Tujia is an ancient ethnic group with a long history, and the Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture is one of their inhabited areas. This region, with its continuous mountains and rich cultural heritage, has nurtured diverse forms of music. Unique Tujia musical forms such as Daliuzi, wedding weeping songs, Tima songs, Youshui labor chants, and Tujia folk songs were included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in the 21st century. This paper focuses on the Tujia Daliuzi music of Western Hunan. Through platforms such as CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and Chaoxing, relevant literature was collected and reviewed using the literature review method. The paper organizes the known literature on Tujia Daliuzi music from Western Hunan, summarizing materials on the basic overview, score inheritance and collection, band composition, instrument performance, and subsequent development after being listed as intangible cultural heritage. By summarizing the literature on Tujia Daliuzi music, the paper aims to deepen the understanding of this ethnic musical genre
