The Development of Folk Songs in China?

China folk song culture is rich and colorful, and its development is also quite difficult and tortuous. The inheritance and development of China folk songs can be carried out according to the historical time axis. ?

The Book of Songs, which appeared in the long Spring and Autumn Period, is the first collection of poems in China, including more than 100 folk songs, covering a very wide range, including provinces in the Yellow River basin and parts of the Yangtze River basin.

It expresses feelings by singing alone, and most of the central ideas expressed are parting and love.
