Features: In a nutshell, the content of this book includes: Chapter 1 discusses issues related to the origin of language, Chapter 2 elaborates on the natural essence of musical sounds in language, Chapter 3 discusses the linguistic and cultural characteristics of Chinese musical sound words, and Chapter 4 explores the linguistic significance of using folk songs. One reason why Chinese holds uniqueness among world languages is that it has a large number of musical sound words and discourse images closely related to the source of language, containing rich information about the origin of language. The origin of language is closely linked to the origin of humanity. In human history, the earliest things are difficult to witness, and the oral emergence of non-material culture before writing is even harder to witness and interpret. Moreover, much of human knowledge is subject to the orality of the researcher's limitations and historical constraints, making it probable rather than certain.
