The She ethnic group in Zhejiang Province is mainly distributed in Lishui, Wenzhou, Quzhou and Hangzhou. Jingning She Autonomous County is the only county-level She autonomous region in China. Singing folk songs is one of the most important cultural activities in the She people's work and life. Most men, women, old and young are good at singing. The She people have the custom of "pan ge" (singing in pairs), and they often sing all night long. Their tunes are quite different from those of the Han people and are full of She characteristics. There are about eight types of tune forms in the country, and Zhejiang has six of them, namely: "Lishui tune", "Jingning tune", "Pingyang tune", "Taishun tune", "Longquan tune" and "Wencheng tune" (two of which are shared with Fujian). It can be said that the folk songs of the She ethnic group in Zhejiang are representative of the folk songs of the She ethnic group in China. The lyrics of folk songs are extremely rich. In addition to the vast number of short songs, there are long historical poems "Gaohuang Songs", dozens of long narrative songs "Xiaoshuo Songs", complete sets of "Wedding Ceremony Songs", "Ancestor Worship Songs", "Merit Songs", etc. There is a "three-line change" in the lyrics of the She people, which is related to the "three-fold" in the "Book of Songs and National Winds" of the pre-Qin Dynasty. In addition, the lyrics of the She people, which are arranged in the order of the twelve hours of "Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao", can be found in the Tang Dynasty folk song compilation "Dunhuang Songs General Compilation" (edited by Ren Bankui). She folk songs can be seen everywhere, expressed in the form of singing in the She language. On every festive day, the singing is soaring, and even when working in the mountains and fields, visiting relatives and friends and welcoming guests, they often talk in songs. The singing forms of the She people include solo, duet, and chorus. Among them, unaccompanied mountain songs are the most favorite folk song form of the She people. "Shuangyin" is a two-part duet singing method that the She people are good at, also known as "Shuangtiaoluo". The She people have their own customs and language, and singing folk songs is a major form of activity in the cultural life of the She people. Folk songs are an important means and tool for the She people to impart various social knowledge such as history, culture, production, and life, and to carry out cultural and entertainment activities. Singing folk songs has become an indispensable part of the cultural life of the She people. Most men, women, old and young are good at singing, and some unique folk song festivals have been formed. The She people love to sing, and the content is rich and colorful. The most commonly sung is the long narrative "Gaohuang Song" (also known as "Panhu King Song"). The song describes Panhu's extraordinary life, his experiences, achievements and ethnic origins. The singing style and tunes of She folk songs are influenced by the Han dialects in their respective living areas, and are becoming increasingly regionalized. When working alone in the mountains, people often sing to drive away loneliness. If someone hears them from a distance and recognizes that they are of the opposite sex of similar age, they often join in and develop into a duet of love. People often sing duets in the mountains, so some people call the She village a sea of songs, and some people call She songs mountain songs. According to the subject matter, She folk songs can be roughly divided into narrative songs (including mythological and legendary songs and novel songs), miscellaneous songs (including love, labor life, imparting knowledge, ethics, entertainment life, etc.), and ritual songs (including wedding songs, ancestor worship songs, and merit songs, etc.). The tunes of She folk songs can be roughly divided into two categories: mountain song tunes and master tunes. Mountain song tunes include: Funing tune, Fuding tune, Xiapu tune, Luolian tune, Lishui tune, Jingning tune, Longquan tune, Wencheng tune, etc. Master tunes include chanting tunes and singing in conjunction with public moral actions. She folk songs are mostly sung in falsetto. According to different singing methods, there are three variations: flat tune, falsetto, and high pitch. There is also a "double tone" singing form, in which a man and a woman sing the same lyrics, and the tunes form a supporting, imitative, or harmonious relationship. This singing form was popular for a period of time, and representative songs include "The Wind Blows the Bamboo Leaves at the Tail". It is now endangered and in urgent need of rescue. The She people like to sing folk songs. They sing not only at weddings and festivals, but also during production labor, entertaining guests, leisure time, and talking about love. They even sing instead of crying to express their feelings at funerals. She folk songs generally use four-word or seven-word rhyme texts as one line, and four sentences as one song. There are also a few lyrics with three or five words in the first sentence, and pay attention to rhyme. The last word of the third sentence must be a flat tone. There are many folk songs of the She ethnic group, in the form of solo, duet, and chorus, and in the categories of narrative songs, folk songs, labor songs, seasonal songs, novel songs, revolutionary songs, children's songs, miscellaneous songs, etc. There are 935 She ethnic group wedding songs and 642 elegies compiled into the "Zhejiang Province Volume of the Collection of Chinese Folk Literature", as well as four-linked songs such as "Beating the Wine Bureau", "Beating the Salt Tyrant", "Ancient Songs" and "Mrs. Tang's Song" compiled based on local historical facts. The singing forms of the She ethnic group include solo, duet, and chorus. Among them, unaccompanied folk songs are the most favorite music form of the She people. The She people are good at the two-part duet singing method, which is called "double tone" by people and "double strips" by the She people. In singing, it has the nature of round singing. The She ethnic group's folk songs pay attention to the rhyme of the She language. Many people can improvise and sing, and some singers sing duets for one or two nights without repeating. When singing, the falsetto is used with sounds such as "li, luo, ah, yi, le". When learning songs, singing without falsetto is called "flat singing". Each county has a melody for singing happy songs, and the whole nation has a unified melody for singing mourning songs. The forms of singing include solo, duet, and chorus, and are rarely accompanied by movements and instrumental music. She folk songs can be divided into short songs and long couplets according to the number of songs. An independent song is a short song, and short songs are usually sung; folk songs with several, dozens or even hundreds of songs as a whole are called long couplets (or narrative songs), such as "Gao Wang Song", "Feng Jinshan", "Shichen Song", etc. In Jingning area, there are also long couplets such as "Fighting Salt Tyrant", "Fighting Wine Bureau", and "Mrs. Tang Song". "Gao Wang Song" is a long couplet that records the origin of the She people. The She people regard it as a treasure handed down from generation to generation and a national epic. It is well-known to the She people and sung from generation to generation. The whole poem has 112 songs. Labor songs express the agricultural seasons that must be followed for various production labors in the form of singing, introduce production knowledge, how to strive for a good harvest, and achieve a better life.

Everyone of the She ethnic group, young and old, can sing it. The specific time of its formation is unknown. This song is a labor song improvised and sung by a She girl who met a young man cutting firewood while working in the mountains and fields. The content is philosophical and has the mood of love between men and women. Love songs, also known as fate songs, are the most numerous, most widely circulated, and most touching folk songs of the She ethnic group. Most love songs are based on something to express love between men and women. Young men and women talk about love through love songs, pour out their sincere emotions to each other, eliminate all obstacles, and achieve the goal of men and women becoming husband and wife. Even middle-aged and elderly singers sing to each other, and they are good at inserting heart-wrenching love songs to add to the fun. "Love Song Duet" is called "Laoge" in She language, which means men and women sing duets to each other. It is a cultural life form with unique ethnic style. As long as you walk into the She village, you can hear men and women singing duets in the mountains and fields. Love song duets are basically a duet between a man and a woman, each singing a song, one singing and one responding. When young men and women meet, the woman usually sings the lead, and the man responds according to the lyrics of the lead singer, so the responder has to sing as he composes, which is quite difficult. In addition to duets during field labor, love songs are also duets at night, starting after dinner and ending at dawn. First, it does not interfere with working time; second, it can attract many listeners. She folk songs are oral literature created by the She people in the struggle of production and life. They are the crystallization of the wisdom of the She people and an important part of the traditional culture of the She people. Most folk songs are stored in the minds of the She people and passed down orally from generation to generation. Some folk songs are circulated among the people in handwritten copies recorded in Chinese characters in the She language. She folk songs mainly reflect the integrity and diversity of the Chinese national music culture. In addition, the She ethnic group's song culture has a high academic research value.
