Extended data

Classification of artistic speaking and singing;

From the formal point of view, singing literature can be divided into three categories: one is simple literature, which only sings and doesn't talk, such as bamboo books and fast books. One kind uses prose completely, only talks but doesn't sing, such as storytelling.

One is the alternate use of verse and prose, and the combination of rap, such as drum lyrics, paizi songs, tanci, baojuan and so on. Judging from the historical development, rhyme and rhyme are the mainstream, which can be pushed to Bianwen in Tang and Five Dynasties, regular script in Song Dynasty and Zhu Gong tune in Jin and Yuan Dynasties.

Both simple prose and simple rhyme are derived from prosody and rhyme, which were probably expressed most clearly in the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty.
