Mulao people are good at singing folk songs, which is an art form that they have been using to sing about production, life, feelings and impart scientific and cultural knowledge. The types of songs are: Answer casually, which is an impromptu short song. Most of them are antithetical songs that young men and women ask and answer when they are in love. There are four or six sentences with seven words each, and some of them are six words, which rhyme with seven words. "Ancient songs" are narrative songs. There are songs and dances, including popular historical stories, myths and legends, etc. Long song, composed of 15-30 songs, is called "ancient songs" and is handed down from generation to generation by folk singers. Melody is an ironic ballad, also known as the song of quarrel. Its content is unlimited, and it can be divided into "positive melody" and "bad melody". The former is more civilized and the latter is vulgar, and they are full of wit, humor and wit.
