What are the basic artistic features of folk songs?

Because it is not directly accompanied by labor singing, folk songs do not show distinct practical functions like labor songs; Because you often sing freely to the blue sky and white clouds in Yuanye, folk songs are not as standardized and rigorous as minor folk songs, and have both lyric and narrative functions. Folk songs, like an emotional river, flow from people's hearts. People express joy and sadness, joy and sadness through the melody of folk songs.

Improvisation is the basic feature of folk songs, which is very distinctive in folk songs. Improvisation is closely related to the singing environment of folk songs and Shan Ye streams. The empty Shan Ye or the endless grassland has become a broad stage for people to stretch and sing freely. Without any external constraints, the literary talent and musical ideas of folk singers often flood out, and they often improvise and sing top-grade masterpieces that even amaze professional poets and musicians. Improvisation is sometimes due to the need for songs in communication, which is particularly prominent in folk song and dance festivals in some ethnic minority areas. For example, when Guangxi Zhuang's "Gewei" duets songs, young male and female singers export songs under the leadership of their respective singers, and you come and go, witty and witty, and answer questions like a stream.

Step 3: Location

Locality is a distinct regional feature. This is also one of the basic characteristics of folk songs, but it is particularly prominent in folk songs. This is because some folk songs are mostly sung in a relatively small area, so dialects with strong characteristics are often used in language, and the most popular tones in this area must be used. A large number of decorative songs belonging to a certain region or a certain ethnic group are often derived from dialect tones, forming the local characteristics of the so-called "folk songs don't leave home, each with its own cavity". For example, the "Flower" in Northwest China and Qinghai, the "Xintianyou" in Northern Shaanxi, the "Qu Shan" in Shanxi and the "Mountain Climbing Tune" in Inner Mongolia are self-evident. Of course, labor songs and minor songs also have local characteristics, but they are not as prominent as folk songs. Restricted by labor, labor songs often show some characteristics in rhythm form and interval application, which are often accompanied by the influence of labor type and labor intensity. Minor is not only sung in remote country roads, but also popular in noisy towns and streets. Because of its wide spread, it often weakens locality and regionality and increases universality. The rural nature of folk songs is also manifested in its simple style, no affectation, less artistic processing, strong Shan Ye style and intoxicating local flavor.
