Features: From the time of being in the womb until death, and even long after death, a person remains in the context of folk culture. Folk culture is like air, something people cannot live without. For the folk society, it is a bond of emotions, a symbol of mutual identity, a standard for regulating behavior, a glue that holds the group together, and a cultural tradition passed down through generations. Chinese folk culture is a cultural tradition forged and passed down through generations, embodying the character, spirit, truth, goodness, and beauty of the nation. It is a symbol of mutual identity for the Chinese people and a bond that connects them emotionally. Today, we will showcase the excellent aspects and essence of folk culture to the broad masses, including the farming brothers, so that they may develop a deeper sense of attachment, love, and reverence for the Chinese land, their fellow countrymen, the fine cultural traditions, and the sincere folk customs. This book is part of the "Chinese Folk Culture Series," titled "Folk Music." The narrative framework of this book is primarily limited to the historical context of the contemporary era. It briefly traces the history of some folk music genres, with the focus on folk music phenomena still visible at the beginning of the 21st century. The classification and current status of folk music are also described and analyzed within this context.
