The custom of folk music

Traditional folk instrumental performances are mostly combined with folk customs such as weddings, funerals and celebrations, court ceremonies and religious ceremonies, and rarely take the form of pure instrumental performances. The practicality of national instrumental music makes many instrumental music tracks change because of different occasions.

Traditional national instrumental music has a title, which is divided into two categories: standard name and standard meaning. The false name only gives a name to the music to show the difference between A and B, and it has no direct connection with the music content, such as Gong Shang Zhi, Si Duan Jin, Jiu Lian Huan and Ten Scenes of Gong and Drum. Symbolic titles use song titles, section titles, problem solving, etc. to express the content of music, such as running water, disarming the overlord and winning the dragon.
