🎧  Listen to Introduction

Taishan folk songs have a long history. Since the Yuan Dynasty, many famous poets, singers and works have emerged. The singing method is generally "asking for the words to choose the tune" or "taking the sound according to the words"; the singer flexibly uses two sentences as a section on the basis of the original basic melody, using methods such as continuous repetition, compression and change, extension and change, and adding embellishments to make the melody sing naturally and gracefully. There are many types, mainly including wooden fish songs, grain tower songs, chicken selling songs, bride songs, cattle herding songs, dragon boat songs, salt water songs, Hakka folk songs, etc. The themes are diverse, mainly reflecting customs and working life, and have important academic value for studying the history and humanities of Taishan.
