Short course: Chinese folk singing
Next course
Course description
After the founding of The People's Republic of China in 1949, Chinese folk songs entered a brand new period, and a large number of folk songs reflecting people's new life sprang up. Because many nationalities even have no writing, folk songs are still their main art form and an indispensable part of daily life, and most of them retain the form of combining "poetry, song and dance".
In terms of genre, Chinese folk songs are generally divided into minors' songs, folk songs and work songs.
