(A)

There are a lot of kinds of folk music in China, because China has 56 nationalities and every group has its own style of music. There is a lot of poetry(诗意) in Chinese folk songs, including ideas, feelings and images. But in pop songs, there is no poetry. Each Chinese folk song has its own personality, for example,“Jasmine(茉莉花)”, “Dancing of Youth(青春舞曲)”　 or　 “My youth has gone away like a bird and never comes back.”

Folk songs are from the people. Folk songs are like a way of serving the people, although folk songs express the feelings of the people. Chinese folk songs express the feelings, the emotions(感受) and the hopes of people about being in love or how hard it is.

“The more national, the more international.”In order to spread Chinese folk music, a forum(论坛) of folk songs called“Nanning International Festival of Folk Songs Art”is held every year. Chinese and overseas art groups and artists often perform at the opening ceremony, such as Chinese minority singers-Han Hong, Teng Ge’er and A’Lilangs. The more widely it spreads, the more attention the music attracts.
