Many young people sing solo or duet in the fields and mountains. Some express their love, praise their hometown and celebrate a happy life, while others improvise. There are two kinds of folk songs in Dehong area: "Shouma" and "Shoutongmao". ① Shouts in mangshi, Yingjiang and other places can be divided into Cheng Zi folk songs (called "Shoule Meng" in Dai language, which is a popular folk song in towns) and Bazi folk songs (called "Shoule Jie" in Dai language, which is a popular folk song in rural areas). The former is softer and the latter is clearer. The popular shouting styles in different places are similar, and the basic characteristics of music are: lyrical melody, multi-purpose progressive and small jump, gong, Shang, Yu and Zheng modes are more common, and sometimes the modes alternate within the structure or deviate from the subordinate direction. Ancient folk songs (called "Hu Ban Matao" in Dai language) and folk songs popular in the covered areas (called "Hu Danma" in Dai language) can be classified as Huma, but their styles are slightly different. The following example is the mangshi Chengzi folk song of Dehong: ② Shout Tong Mao, which is a folk song circulating in Ruili. The music is hearty, multi-modal and free in rhythm. The tune jumps seven degrees in the middle and jumps up and down continuously at the end, which is quite distinctive. When the same tenor is used to sing love songs for men and women, it is called "Shouting will be cool", which refers to Aika. Ruili is also popular with the folk songs "Shouliang Dai" and "Shouleng Dang" in the Dai area of Myanmar, with unique music. The following example is "Shout Must Be Sunny" by Dehong Ruili: The tunes of Dai folk songs in Xishuangbanna are basically the same as love songs, with fresh beats, clear accents and lively music. The melody is mainly progressive and small jumps, with seven or eight jumps in the middle, mostly in Gongdiao, but mainly in sign and horn.
The folk songs in Jinping area, called "Soul Mao Sao" in Dai language, are sung by young men and women at night, accompanied by A Qin. The tunes are mostly Gongdiao, but they end with a sign. In addition, Yuanjiang and Jinggu have different styles of folk songs.
