ABSTRACT
As an important part of the "native culture", Miao Song has long been concerned by the academic circles. The use of the added words and added tunes of the Miao folk songs in Xiangxi has distinct national characteristics. According to the different positions of the added words and the added tunes in the Miao song, it can be divided into three categories: before the music, in the music, and after the music. This paper introduces the characteristics and functions of these three types of the added words and tunes in detail, and analyzes the reasons for their consistency with Miao folk songs' overall style. Further research on the added words and tunes will help to understand more closely the Miao folk songs' musical form, characteristics and the close connection of the cultural background of the Miao language and customs.
