Abstract

 The Morin Khuur, or horsehead fiddle, is a core representative of traditional Mongolian chordophones. Its performance practice has a profound internal connection with the spirit of grassland culture. Focusing on three key dimensions—timbre shaping, performance techniques, and repertoire interpretation—this paper explores how Morin Khuur performance concretely presents the cultural spirit of grassland peoples, including reverence for nature, love for life, and the pursuit of freedom. The study finds that the natural environment of the grassland is reflected in the distinctive timbre of the Morin Khuur, the production and living practices of the Mongolian people constitute the foundation of its traditional techniques, and ethnic emotions and beliefs are concentrated in the interpretation of musical works. In the process of technical innovation, contemporary Morin Khuur performance continues to inherit the spirit of grassland culture, demonstrating the cultural vitality of this traditional instrument.
