本书主要探讨土家族民间艺术在现代传播视阈下的生境、内涵、表现形态、审美变迁及在现代传播视阈下怎样建构和激活土家族民间艺术，更好地实现传承、发展和超越。无论是“下里巴人”的民间叙事还是“阳春白雪”的经典重述，土家族民间艺术在从“传统”走向“现代”；从“他者”转向“我们”；从“历史”面向“未来”的全球化，这是一种必然的经历。以辩证、运动、整体的思想来审视现代传播视阈下土家族民间艺术的变迁，突出审美文化研究的现实关怀。从历时性的角度去考察土家族民间艺术的变迁，并坚守合规律的、合目的的原则超越狭隘的民族主义，融入多元文化之中。在纵向上既根植于传统又面向现代，在横向上要跨越多民族的阈限和阻隔，创造出符合当代人审美趣味的艺术，提高大众的人文素养和文化自觉。要突破自我的私语与囿限，既要坚守文化根脉又要不断适应新的语境。用一种自为的眼光在历史中去审察发现“存在”的维度，存在并不是人独有的特质而是自然万物的本质。要超越自我，学会共情，激活民间艺术的灵韵并使之永匡，引向“他者”的存在，让人文精神和科学技术并驾齐驱，在这个不断更迭的历史进程中，传统美学，文化观念要不断思索，扬弃，建构一种能体现时代辩证精神的审美追求和文化宗旨。

This book mainly discusses the habitat, connotation, expression form, aesthetic changes of Tujia folk art under the modern communication threshold, and how to construct and activate Tujia folk art under the modern communication threshold, so as to better achieve inheritance, development and transcendence. Whether it is the folk narrative of the "Xialiba people" or the classic retelling of "Yangchun Baixue", the folk art of the Tujia family is moving from "traditional" to "modern"; Shift from "other" to "we"; Globalization from "history" to "future" is an inevitable experience. With dialectical, movement and holistic ideas, this paper examines the changes of Tujia folk art under the threshold of modern communication, and highlights the practical concern of aesthetic culture research. From the perspective of diachronic analysis, we examine the changes in Tujia folk art, and adhere to the principle of regularity and purpose, transcend narrow nationalism, and integrate into multiculturalism. Vertically, it is rooted in tradition and oriented to modernity, and horizontally it is necessary to cross the threshold and barrier of multi-ethnicity, create art that conforms to the aesthetic taste of contemporary people, and improve the public's humanistic literacy and cultural consciousness. To break through the whispers and limitations of the self, we must not only adhere to the cultural roots, but also constantly adapt to the new context. Examine history with a self-directed perspective and discover the dimension of "existence", which is not a unique characteristic of man but the essence of all natural things. It is necessary to surpass oneself, learn to empathize, activate the spiritual charm of folk art and make it eternal, lead to the existence of "other", let the humanistic spirit and science and technology go hand in hand, in this constantly changing historical process, traditional aesthetics and cultural concepts should continue to think, abandon, and build an aesthetic pursuit and cultural purpose that can reflect the dialectical spirit of the times.（AI翻译）
