In the folk movement, there were two main tendencies in the origin of the works, one is the repertoire based on the old traditional ballads, and the other is the creation of ballads in the style of the traditional ballads. In either case, the singing retains the characteristics of the traditional ballad. The singing is not overly concerned with vocal technique, and the natural voice is the main focus; as the melodies of the ballads are relatively smooth, this determines the shallow and low character of the ballad singing style. At the same time, most of the themes of the ballads are narrative themes, like the tone of the two talking to each other, which also determines that the ballads cannot be sung loudly. There is a concept that should not be disturbed. Singing in a low voice does not mean that you are lazy and weak, but your voice should be positive, your breath should be natural and smooth, and your tone of voice should not be overly exaggerated. Just as with speech, the exaggerated tone of voice is rarely seen in real life.
With the rise of the folk music movement, the 50s and 60s saw the peak of folk music and its close connection to the political *** movement. Regardless of the thematic shifts, the style of singing remained the same as that of narrative chanting. But from the 1950s onwards, with the commercialization of popular music, the ballad became more popular. At this time, the form of singing was no longer limited to a single solo; duets, trios, quartets, and mixed vocal ensembles were born. They retained the characteristic of singing in a low voice and continued the spoken narrative style, on the basis of which they began to emphasize the harmonic effect of the melody, and also paid more attention to the melodic nature of the song.
Question 2: What is the meaning of the ballad The popular folk songs, rich in national colors, are called ballads or folk songs. Ballads have a long history, so their authors are mostly unknown. Ballads are rich in content, including religion, love, war, work, drinking, dancing, music, ceremonies and so on. Ballads are the expression of a nation's feelings and habits, so each has its own unique scale and mood style. For example, the exuberance of French ballads, the passion of Italian ballads, the simplicity of English ballads, the grief of Japanese ballads, the unrestrained Spanish ballads, and the lingering sentimentality of Chinese ballads all express a strong national temperament and color.

Educational heritage
In some ethnic minorities in China, there are folk songs that sing long narrative poems, historical poems, such as the Yi? "Ancient Songs" of the Miao, "Pan Wang Songs" of the Yao. "Panwang Song" of the Yao, and the Hani tribe's "Song of the Opening of Heaven and Earth". "Song of the Opening of Heaven and Earth", Jingpo's? "Mu Nao Zhai Wa", the Dulong's? "Genesis" of the Dulong, the Lisu? "Wood scraping base" and so on.
These songs recount the ancient myths and legends about the origin of the universe and mankind, the knowledge of the ancestors of some natural phenomena, as well as history, production, life and ritual knowledge. These songs have small ups and downs in tune, strong chanting, and large lengths, with some lyrics reaching tens of thousands of lines. It usually takes hours or even days to sing them all. These songs are mostly sung by sorcerers or respected old men during festivals, sacrifices or wedding ceremonies, and the atmosphere is solemn.
Life Rituals
There are four most important stages in life, namely birth, adulthood, marriage and death. In many ethnic groups in China, folk songs are sung throughout these four rites of passage. For example, the Yi midwife sang "Yangzi Song", Guangxi Zhuang men sang "Song of Eighteen" when they became adults at the age of 18, Mongolian, Pumi wedding songs, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tu, Dai, Dong, Yi, Hani, Tujia, Han "wedding song" (or?), "Crying Song", "Wailing Song", "Wailing Song", "Wailing Song", "Wailing Song", "Wailing Song", "Wailing Song", "Wailing Song", "Wailing Song", "Wailing Song" and "Wailing Song". "crying marriage song"), Zhuang, Miao, Pumi funeral songs and so on.
Rituals to drive away evil
In some ethnic groups, folk songs are often used in ancestor worship activities, as well as rituals hosted by sorcerers and goddesses to sacrifice to the gods to drive away evil spirits and get rid of illnesses and disasters. For example, the Dai? "Sacrifice to the Gods",? "Diviner's Tune",? "Divination". The Dong ethnic group's? "Stomping Song" (called "Doye" in Dong language). "Doye" or? "Yeh") and so on.
Social function
The social function of folk songs includes love, communication, sending and welcoming, and song fighting. As a medium of communication between the opposite sex, it is a very important function of folk songs in many ethnic groups in China. The traditional singing programs of some ethnic groups are also often related to this. For example, the Zhuang's ? "Song Market", the Miao's ? "traveling party" of the Miao, "walking slope" of the Lao. "walking slope", the northwest region of the Tu, Hui, Sala, Dongxiang, Bao'an and the Han Chinese? "Flower Festival" and so on. On the day of the festival, hundreds of young men and women gathered to the special outdoor singing field, play and sing, singing all night long, can last for several days and nights. There are also some ethnic groups, such as the Brown, Jinuo, Dai and southern Dong areas, there are young men to go to the girl's home to the song of the custom of searching for a spouse.
Question 5: The difference between a ballad and a folk song Folk music and ethnic music.
Folk music is music that remains in its original, natural form, and is basically characterized by unsigned authors, preserved acoustic sound, free and irregular rhythms, etc. (The irregularity of the rhythms of folk songs is not so much a result of carelessness, lack of training or lack of accompaniment, but rather a result of following the natural rhythms of the mind. Natural singing is spontaneous and free, and it does not matter if the beat is strict. It is out of this primitive *** power that the folk song comes out.) Folk music has a purely instrumental category and a song category. Folk songs belong to the song category. As for folk music, this is a modern concept, only in the modern era when Western capitalism developed and began to expand worldwide, the national question became a worldwide issue and nationalism became an important trend of thought. In modern Western music, nationalism is an important style that bears the brunt of the Russian school, the Hungarian school, and Asian, in short, everything non-Western, non-Eurocentric, non-European and American mainstream.
Difference between folk songs and ballads:
Folk songs are traditional music with local and national colors, while the term ballad carries a modern meaning. Since popular music was bred and developed from Britain and America, the folk elements in popular music are directly from the traditional ballads of European and American history, and the ballads of other places are excluded from it and given another name - WORLD MUSIC, or called ethnic music. I suggest the use of folk songs to distinguish them from ballads that refer specifically to Europe and America. In fact, this distinction is also made in the West. There is also a distinction between traditional folk music in Europe, between the British Isles and continental Europe. British and American traditional folk music (British Isles, including Ireland) is mostly called FOLK, while the continental traditional folk music is mostly called BALLAD, both in style, genre and subject matter have obvious differences. And in the United States evolved into the mainstream of modern popular music or FOLK.
Question 6: What is an independent ballad 10 points Popular folk songs, rich in national colors, known as ballads or folk songs. Ballads have a long history, so their authors are mostly unknown. Ballads are rich in content, including religion, love, war, work, drinking, dancing, music, ceremonies and so on. Ballads are the expression of a nation's feelings and habits, so each has its own unique scale and mood style. For example, the exuberance of French ballads, the passion of Italian ballads, the simplicity of English ballads, the grief of Japanese ballads, the unrestrained Spanish ballads, and the lingering sentimentality of Chinese ballads all express a strong national temperament and color.
Question 7: What is a ballad? 1 I think the ballad is also short for folk ballad, ballad in our country in ancient times is defined as: music for the song, the song for the ballad. That is to say, accompanied by singing for the song, unaccompanied singing for the ballad, and later a long time the two together collectively known as the ballad, until now the exact definition of these two words or words have become increasingly vague, we can only vaguely distinguish between the two concepts in our memory: more mature for the song, the innocence of some of the ballad; heavily made-up, well-dressed for the song, a little powdered, unpowdered, naturally beautiful for the ballad; packaged or overdressed for the song; the natural beauty of the song; the packaging or overdressed for the ballad; the song is a good one. Songs that have been packaged or over-packaged, and songs that have been simply packaged or not packaged, but have retained a stronger sense of originality and life. 2 The concept of the so-called ballad literally corresponds to another thing, and that thing is called the official ballad. Am I telling a joke? Maybe it is, maybe that's what it is. The word "folk" corresponds to the concept of the official (anciently known as the temple, the court), which no one can deny, so it is also true that the folk ballads correspond to the official ballads, because they were originally created. In this way, almost all of our popular songs today can be called folk songs, because they are almost all created by the people of the folk to serve the public works, the concept of folk songs here can be almost all the concepts of the song (folk songs can be folk songs can also be folk music, here we know on the line, not to continue to expand the concept of too many, and then more chaotic, the following will appear more and more concepts. There are already too many concepts, and it would be confusing if there were more.), pop, rock, country, jazz and even punk are all folk, aren't they? Of course they are, they can all be folk songs, and theoretically they can all be official songs, where they are just raw materials, and what kind of product is produced depends on the will of the producer; however, this creates a new problem, because if it is explained in this way, then this problem has no meaning, just like a piece of nonsense, which is the same as not saying anything at all, or maybe it is, or maybe it is possible to continue discussing it. Perhaps it is, and perhaps it can be discussed further. 3 So what would be the concept of folk music that we really want to get at the moment? In fact, the concept of folk music that we really want to get at the moment is by and large the concept of fresh, natural songs like acoustic guitars in a narrow sense, that's right, but that's only a branch of the whole concept of folk music, not the whole concept of folk music, the whole concept of folk music is all folk songs, as I've already said above, and I'll continue to go into more depth now to give you some examples. 4 From the most convincing "Poetry Classic", "Poetry Classic" is the source of poetry in China, it is the so-called "Poetry Three Hundred", which is a collection of poems, songs and dances collected and collated by Confucius covering the period of hundreds of years prior to Confucius, covering all the places of our country, all the official and folk poems, songs and dances of all the feudal lords, and in fact the works included in the collection are also the most classic works of all kinds of poems. In fact, those works are the most classic kinds of songs at that time, they used to have words, songs, and may be a set of music, singing, dancing and other forms of expression in one, just due to the problem of time, inheritance problems, those works today we can only see the lyrics and can no longer know the other content. 5 As the songs of the time, they were clearly categorized, and this categorization was very specific and clear. The works of the Book of Songs are generally divided into three categories, namely, the Wind, the Elegance, and the Ode. Wind is the local music of different regions; elegance is the music of the Zhou dynasty, the so-called "Zhengsheng Ya music", the "elegance" poems are the music and songs of the court feasts or the court meetings; and ode is the dance and song of the clan and temple rituals, which mostly glorify the achievements of the ancestors. The wind here refers to the so-called folk ballads, and the ode also refers to the official ballads, ya is a combination of the two connotations, between the two, so the wind and ya are the most literary, and the wind is the most lively and colorful, and the ode is the most boring, so we imagine that the concept of folk ballads should be referred to in the wind and the concept of the ballads under the elegance, but exclude the concept of the official ballads, and the concept of the ballads under the wind and the elegance. In turn, the concept of ballad under wind and elegance is on the whole more inclined to wind. 6 Wind is also a general term for the folk customs and local conditions of different regions, and the wind in the Shijing only refers to the local music of different regions, which is not the whole explanation of wind, and it can also be understood that the works about wind in the Shijing are the works that express the folk customs and local conditions of different regions in the form of music, poems, and dances, etc., which are distinctive features of the respective regions in order to differentiate them from the other regions. As the saying goes, "if you live off the mountain, you live off the water", you sing songs in the mountainous areas, and in the watery areas, you sing boat songs. 7 All the people in this world have the same body parts, but each ...... >>

Ballads are substitutes for the deepest feelings of the human heart.
