What is folk music really like in everyone's eyes?

When it comes to folk music, the first impression is that it is traditional, folk culture and art, and is generally very grounded. In fact, folk music is a kind of elegant art. We are all familiar with the folk music that is like "Horse Racing", "Two Fountains Reflecting the Moon", "High Mountains and Flowing Water" and other famous songs, and are not too familiar with all kinds of excellent works created by contemporary composers for the national orchestra. In fact, there are many excellent composers of modern folk music in China, such as Zhao Jiping, Guo Wenjing, Wang Danhong, etc.

What is the most important thing to know about the composers of modern folk music?

Personally, I prefer folk music. It's not because of what? The main reason is that I like folk music, not because of what?

I personally prefer folk music, not because of what? For me, folk music is more of a spiritual support than anything else. Excellent and outstanding folk music works are really marvelous and can touch every nerve of people. However, there is a lack of understanding of folk music, and we can't experience or hear the excellent works played by many outstanding performers. So the understanding of folk music is limited.

In fact, national orchestras and symphony orchestras can make people's blood boil when they hear them, and their scalps go numb when they hear them, but they lack the understanding of folk music, and there is not a lot of publicity about folk music in China. For example, recently the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra performed in Shanghai, the queue to buy tickets are lined up a few early morning are not necessarily buy, the country has also reported on this matter, which is a very typical case.

We have to recognize that the rigor of folk music and its dissemination really needs to be strengthened, after all, there are many kinds of instruments in folk music that the public does not understand or even know, and it is true that the appearance and sound of some instruments make people feel like they are from the corner of the world, like the corner of the world. It's true that some instruments look and sound like they're from the corner. But it is also because the Chinese nation has so many provinces and cities, creating a lot of local specialties derived from the region, and people's emotional expression. So I think as long as it is the people's inner voice, inner emotions expressed in the music, no matter elegant and vulgar, will find its soulmate.
