The article is divided into three levels, from the culture of Xigang Xiangko, Niulizhen, to the musical culture of the investigated group. From the performance (including props, dresses, musical instruments, and post editing), melody (Niulige, Chegu, and theatuer “Fanponon”, including tune organization, tone, type, rhythm, and structure) and lyrics (including song lyrics and monologue), I hope to understand the music and culture feature. As the Niulizhen groups of participating in Xigang Xiangko decrease over years, the preserve and research in music of an ancient Niulizhen group with more than a century of history is one major point.
