Wu songs (Kunbei folk songs) extend Kunshan folk songs. They are most abundant in Bacheng and Zhoushi, and are called Kunbei folk songs. They are a branch of Wu songs. There are accurate records of Kunshan people singing folk songs during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (Zhou Xuanwei's "Jinglin Xuji"). Kunbei folk songs can be roughly divided into three categories: mountain songs. Also known as field mountain songs. The rhythm and tone are relatively free. There are big mountain songs and small mountain songs. Big mountain songs are composed of sets of songs such as "head song", "dutou", "xiaoyao" and "houkan", such as "Eat rice and shout mountain songs"; small mountain songs are single-segment folk songs, such as "weeding rice mountain songs" and "rowing boat mountain songs". Minor tunes. The rhythm is relatively square and narrative. Such as "Building a pergola", "rowing a dragon boat" and "Lady in the field". (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
