Zuoquan folk music, originating in the Song Dynasty (960-1279), was placed on the list of national intangible cultural heritage by the State Council in 2016. 

In addition, Zuoquan county was named as a "home of Chinese folk art" by the Ministry of Culture. Since then, Zuoquan folk music has won a number of national awards and been performed on stage abroad.

The county has set up a music protection center with the aim of promoting, preserving and developing Zuoquan folk music as an important intangible cultural heritage.
