Abstract: This study develops and tests a "Mo Li Hua" Singing Teaching Manual designed to translate Chinese national vocal aesthetics into structured and teachable pedagogy. The manual integrates diction strategies, resonance techniques, and Shen-Yun-based exercises into step-by-step instruction. Eight undergraduate students from the Vocal Music Department at Xi'an Conservatory of Music used the manual over a 16-week semester, and their feedback was collected through questionnaires. Five expert educators also evaluated the manual. The findings indicate that the manual improved diction clarity, stylistic authenticity, and learner confidence, and was endorsed by experts for classroom usability. Students reported measurable gains in resonance control and clearer understanding of ShenYun, while experts highlighted the manual's contribution to standardizing teaching practices. Rather than treating "Mo Li Hua" solely as a cultural emblem, this research demonstrates its practical value as a pedagogical resource that bridges folk and bel canto techniques. The manual thus provides a replicable model for strengthening national vocal pedagogy and supporting curriculum development in Chinese higher music education, with potential relevance for broader applications in music teaching and learning.
