Aesthetic characteristics of folk culture

First, spontaneity. As far as the creative process of folk cultural works is concerned, spontaneity is reflected in the characteristics of willfulness and ubiquity. Judging from the writing purpose of the works, folk culture is mostly made by people who have no names in their lives. Therefore, it is often made casually on the premise of entertaining yourself. Moreover, in the process of circulation, we do and change at will, without worrying about whether people accept it, whether the content of the work is mature or not, whether it is attractive and so on.

Second, inheritance. Inheritance is first manifested as an example. Secondly, it is reflected in word of mouth. In the process of spreading and accepting folk cultural works, "face to face" is an important feature. Folk cultural works, such as folk songs, legends, proverbs, operas, storytelling, etc. All need live performances, personal demonstrations or actions. These art forms spread in villages, streets and alleys, and also appeared in quadrangles, and spread in the mouth and hands of the viewers themselves. Song dynasty poets

Example: Lu You's "A boat travels near the village, leaving a boat for home".

Third, vulgarization and stylization.

For example, the folk song "Hang Hang is hot" in Han Dynasty.

Popular form inherits the traditional form of a national culture, and in the long-term spread of folk culture, it often forms a stylized aesthetic form that is easy for the people to accept.

For example: Peking Opera facial makeup, Mianzhu woodcut door gods, Shaanxi paper-cutting.

4. Practicality and entertainment.

Example: Kunming nursery rhyme "Begging for Rain".
