What are the characteristics of China folk music?

1. The characteristic of China folk music in pitch is "the pitch cannot be fixed". For example, many folk musical instruments have fingering such as chanting, rubbing and sliding, which makes the sound fluctuating and unique. These fingering methods are indispensable in the learning process of national musical instruments, which largely determine the timbre and style of music.

2. In national music, different arrangements of the board and eyes are used to express different beats. Generally speaking, the chessboard represents the strong beat and the eyes represent the weak beat. * * * There are scattered boards, flow boards, one board with one eye, one board with two eyes, one board with three eyes and one board with three eyes.

3. Write a board for each beat of the water board, which is generally 1/4 rhythm; A board with one eye is a 2/4 beat consisting of a board and one eye; The two eye plates are a 3/4 beat composed of two eyes; Three-eye plate is a 4/4 beat composed of plate and three eyes; A board with three eyes and a board is only available in Kunqu Nanqu, which is roughly equivalent to 4/2 beats.

4. Sanban is the most distinctive section in national music. The beat in the scattered board inherits the tradition of "the beat has no fixed value", that is, the position of the strong beat and the weak beat is not fixed, which depends on the style of music, the mood of the performer and the needs of expression. Adding flowers to a tune mainly depends on the style of the instrument itself. It should be noted that the main tone is generally unchanged, and sometimes flowers can be added to the knots of sentences and paragraphs to make the tune more smooth and continuous.
