What are the representative tracks in Han folk songs?

Minor, also known as "ditty" and "poem", is often sung in people's leisure life and in habitual festivals and parties. Singers are not only ordinary popular singers, but also professional and semi-professional artists. Semi-professional artists generally work in agriculture or handicrafts, and engage in commercial performances when they meet custom gatherings or entertainment activities.

The spread and development of minor reflects the mutual influence and close relationship between urban and rural music culture. Its spread widely contacts different classes and strata in urban and rural areas, and a wide range of social strata directly or indirectly participate in creation and processing.

Minor is not restricted by labor, with regular and symmetrical form and strong melody. Coupled with the processing and singing of artists with artistic accomplishment, its music is meticulous and tortuous, with more diverse forms of expression and more beautiful tunes than songs and folk songs, which is a more "artistic" folk song form. In addition, due to the complexity of the vocal surface of minor, the content and form of minor are also complicated.

The lyrics of minor are relatively fixed because of the spread of artists and songbooks, and are often combined into multiple songs in the form of four seasons, five tables and December. The theme of singing in minor is very wide, ranging from major social and political events to daily life, customs, love, games and so on, involving all levels of life.

There are several singing forms in minor, such as solo, duet and chorus, among which solo is the most common. Singing is often accompanied by silk and bamboo.
