Features: ig">The folk vocal music mentioned here does not refer to a general term encompassing various vocal arts in China, such as folk songs, quyi, opera, and new songs, or opera. It is a more narrowly defined concept. Specifically, it represents the folk vocal music programs in music conservatories in China, which differ from the singing styles of folk songs, quyi, and opera. At the same time, it is a unique new folk vocal art that has inherited and developed the essence and characteristics of these traditional vocal arts while drawing on and absorbing the singing theories and advantages of Western and European opera singing. The songs in the "Song Selection" (totaling over 420) can serve not only as teaching materials but also as repertoire for professional singers of performing troupes and for amateur folk vocal music enthusiasts to broaden their repertoire and improve their singing skills, or as material for competitions and stage performances. For readers who are not engaged in folk vocal music, they can also gain knowledge and appreciate the profound depth and artistic grandeur of Chinese folk vocal music art through reading and listening to the poetic and picturesque lyrics, melodious and lyrical tunes, and rich and profound emotions.
