Features: Compiling a set of "Textbooks of Chinese Folk Vocal Music" has been our common aspiration for many years. In 1990, our department established a textbook selection and compilation team. After thorough discussions and contributions from all faculty members, repeated screening, centralized organization, and the inclusion of materials frequently used in our classrooms and a batch of newly selected vocal works, the textbooks were compiled and published by the People's Music Publishing House. They were introduced to fellow educators in folk vocal music teaching, as well as students and enthusiasts learning folk vocal music, for reference and use in teaching and performance. This aims to better promote teaching, facilitate mutual exchange, continuous improvement, and collective advancement. Establishing a set of Chinese folk vocal music textbooks that embody national identity, artistic quality, contemporary relevance, and systematic rigor is a glorious mission and responsibility for those engaged in folk vocal music work. Moving forward, we will make every effort to create conditions and continue to compile textbooks in various forms, particularly strengthening the development of new textbooks. Attention will be paid to aligning classroom teaching materials with practical performance repertoire, integrating classroom learning with artistic practice. The "Textbooks of Chinese Folk Vocal Music" are divided into three volumes, with main content including: classical Chinese poetry songs, traditional folk songs, arrangements of folk songs, original compositions, selections from Chinese operas, and film and television theme songs.
