Features: Folk songs are an integral part of the splendid culture of the Chinese nation. They are also a way for people to sing about life and express emotions over thousands of years. Many enduring folk songs have accompanied us since childhood. "Folk Songs · China" is a series of books that complements the "Folk Songs of China" program on China Music Channel of CCTV, documenting authentic folk songs. This book is conceptualized as a "singing folk song map," presenting folk songs from various aspects such as storytelling, musical scores, performer information, and personal experiences, with a focus on "authentic folk songs" in multiple ways. The purpose of this series is to trace the true origins of Chinese folk songs, enhance awareness of them, promote affinity for them, and advance the new cultural concept of Chinese folk songs. "Museum of Sounds" records the voices and textual materials of nearly 100 precious folk songs from ancient times, including the first recordings of well-known folk songs such as "Jasmine Flower," "Little River Flows," and "In a Distant Land." You can also learn about the stories behind these songs (comes with a CD), making it completely worth listening to, reading, and collecting.
