Characteristics of folk rap

Folk rap belongs to the third-person narrative style, and narrative is also called "narrative singing", that is, folk artists, as the third party, tell stories, sing stories and tell jokes to the audience, and at the same time, they are required to supplement the narrative process with appropriate imitative performances.

2. Folk rap is simple, flexible and easy to carry.

Rap works are short and pithy, with few actors and simple props, just embellishment. Scenery is unnecessary. It conforms to the masses and is not limited by any material conditions. Every day in the village, in the streets and alleys, there are tables that can perform, and you can play with a dozen drums. It can be performed in rural towns at any time, and it is known as the "literary light cavalry".

3. The language of folk rap is simple and easy to understand.

Rap is a kind of language art, which uses oral language as a medium to arouse the imagination of the audience through the artistic treatment of speech, including the treatment of pronunciation, semantics, intonation, rhythm and prosody of spoken language. Therefore, language requires colloquialism and appeal. For example, the Shandong fast book Dongyue Temple is basically seven sentences with the sentence pattern of "two, two and three", but there are also some long sentences, which are integrated and scattered as a whole.
