Features: The "Ecological Folk Songs Collection" is divided into two volumes, collecting a portion of handwritten transcriptions and musical notations of nearly 2,000 folk songs recorded from 32 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, and the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macao. Every line, every song, every note, and every lyric in it carries the scent of the earth and our breath. The hundreds of thousands of folk song resources in the "Complete Collection of Chinese Folk Songs" have further strengthened our belief in loving folk songs! These hundreds of thousands of folk song resources also make us deeply respect the experts who have dedicated their lives to exploring, organizing, and teaching folk songs. Folk songs are a part of the splendid culture of the Chinese nation, and they are also a way for people to sing about life and express their emotions for thousands of years. Many folk songs that have been passed down through generations have accompanied us since childhood.
The "Folk Songs·China" series is a book that complements the "Folk Songs·China" program on the music channel of China Central Television (CCTV). This series records ecological folk songs. Based on the concept of a "singing folk song map," it presents folk songs from various perspectives—story culture, musical notation, performer information, and personal experiences—with a focus on "ecological folk songs" in multiple ways. The series aims to trace the true origins of Chinese folk songs, enhance awareness of Chinese folk songs, promote affinity for Chinese folk songs, and advance the new cultural concepts of Chinese folk songs.
The "Ecological Folk Songs Collection" (Volumes 1 and 2) collects representative folk song genres and songs from 32 regions in China. It introduces ecological folk singers and ecological folk songs in a vivid and lively manner, accompanied by illustrations and photographs. The collection also includes 280 outstanding folk songs recorded in handwritten musical notation (with a bonus DVD), all performed by folk song masters from various regions. Their performances are authentic and natural, fully showcasing the charm of the songs, making them a truly enjoyable listening experience.
