Xiang dialect is one of the top ten Chinese dialects,is the most representative dialect in Hunan.The works of Xiang dialects' preservation could be summarized as follows: 1.writing down on paper is the mainstream;2.voice recording is few;3.video recording is blank.We suggest that we should take actions to preserve Xiang dialect as the old people who can speak Xiang dialect are still alive.With the strong support of the government,on the basic of the fully and scientific investigation,complied with the technical rules to record Xiang dialects,we'll use Ipa,words,audios and videos to record the real situation and use the database,website and dialects museum to preserve and display for a long time.
