Classification of folk songs in this paragraph: Folk songs are the unique names of local folk songs in different regions, such as Xintianyou in northern Shaanxi, Qu Shan in Shaanxi, Mountaineering Tune in Inner Mongolia, Huaer, Juvenile in Qinghai and Gansu, Catch Five Sentences in Hubei, Morning Song in Sichuan, Mountaineering Tune in Anhui, and Together from Head to End. One is the "head-to-tail" style, which consists of four lyrics, that is, two pairs of sentences. The number of words in each sentence is roughly the same, but the phrase structure of the upper and lower lyrics forms a staggered effect in rhythm, and a single number or phrase is opposite to an even number. The second lyric structure is vividly called "two loads of water" or "broken waist" by local people, which is a six-sentence structure, that is, adding three to five words between each pair of upper and lower sentences in the "head-to-tail" style, which not only increases the capacity of lyrics, but also has a changeable rhythm and is catchy to read. Heaping: Heaping is a common technique in folk songs. Reduplicated sentences generally have a dense rhythm, often with one word and one sound, which is not melodious, and the rhythm is handled neatly and consistently, similar to the recited number plate. Reduplication does not pursue the ups and downs of melody, but highlights the dynamic rhythm. Overlapping sentences are often inserted in the middle of folk songs, and the sonorous rhythm and melodious melody stretch back and forth in sharp contrast, and at the same time expand the capacity of words. Reduplication also has the function of re-accumulating strength for the subsequent stretching melody. Add stack and write "clip stack". It is an addition to the structure of folk songs and is often sandwiched in the middle of a paragraph. Lianba Sentence: Lianba Sentence is also written as "Lianba Sentence", which is a structural folk song popular in Sichuan and southern Shaanxi. Its structural form is as follows: two sections, the second section is the repetition or change of the first section; In the middle, there is a paragraph with the nature of a number board, the rhythm is relatively dense than the previous two paragraphs, and the sentence width is compact. The whole song is ***8 sentences. Some even form a complete four-sentence section in the middle of eight sentences, forming a trilogy structure with reproducibility. Five-character songs: Five-character songs are also a structural type of folk songs, which are popular in Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan and southwestern Shaanxi. Its structural form is as follows: sentences 1 and 2 are the corresponding paragraphs of the upper and lower sentences, sentences 4 and 5 are the repetitions or changes of sentences 1 and 2, the middle sentence or sentence 1 changes its tail (that is, the end of the phrase changes), or the combination (comparison) of sentences 1 and 2, and the drop in the third sentence. In this way, the falling tone of the five songs has formed the following rules: the fifth tone-tonic-tonic (or the second or fourth tone)-the fifth tone-tonic. Free rhythm of folk songs: Free and long rhythm is the characteristic of typical folk songs, which is mainly manifested in two interdependent aspects. First, in the part of stating the lyrics, the rhythm of folk songs is close to the rhythm of natural language, with the aim of directly and clearly saying what is in your heart; Secondly, after the phrase or sentence of the lyrics is read aloud (dòu), that is, at the end of the melody segment or phrase, folk songs often have free prolongation sounds to express their sighs heartily. The regular and dense rhythm of the lyrics is in sharp contrast with the freely extending voice in emotional singing. The frequent and diversified alternation of the two enriches the rhythm layout of folk songs and enhances the expressive force of folk songs.
