What does the content of folk songs in the Northern Dynasties describe?

Yuefu folk songs in the Northern Dynasties are mainly composed of Yuefu Poetry Anthology, which is a folk creation of northern nationalities. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was introduced from the Northern Dynasty to the Southern Dynasty, and it was only adopted by Liang Yuefu organs, so it was called "Liang Gujiao's cross-blowing song". The so-called "cross-blowing song" is a kind of military music played by northern nationalities on horseback. Because there are drums and horns when playing, it is also called "cross-blowing drum horn song"

First of all, it reflects the war and the militaristic spirit of the people in the north. Yuefu folk songs in the Northern Dynasties were mostly written in the early Northern Dynasties after the "five wild flowers" in the Jin Dynasty. At that time, there was a long-term scuffle among the northern nationalities, and many folk songs reflected this social reality. For example, Song of Enterprise Metaphor (Poor Man) is a portrayal of a large number of deaths of all ethnic groups in the war, while Song of Willow (Good Athletes Must Be Fast) reflects the spirit of northern people who are good at riding and shooting and are brave and good at fighting in order to adapt to the social environment with frequent wars.

The second is to reflect the sufferings of the people. The population plunder of the ruling class, which accompanied the cruel war in the Northern Dynasties, caused people the pain of exile, which made many homesick works reflecting the exile life in the Northern Dynasties show a kind of desperate grief and indignation, which is different from ordinary wandering poems. For example, Purple Honey Horse Song (Tree on the High Mountain), Langya King Song and Leading Song all reflect this social reality, while Quelaoli Song and You touch on the fundamental problem of the opposition between the rich and the poor in society, reflecting the people's growing sense of resistance.

The third is to reflect the love life of men and women. The personalities of all ethnic groups in the north are frank, even in love, so the love songs in the north dynasty are different from midnight in the south, which are simply bold and unrestrained, showing the characteristics of northern sentiment.

For example, land-driven music songs ("Moonlight and Stars Are Falling"), broken willow songs ("My stomach is not happy"), catching songs and so on. The land-driven music song (Drive the sheep into the valley) also reflects the reality that "old women don't marry" in the war environment.

In a word, Yuefu folk songs in the Northern Dynasties are rich and simple in style, magnificent and unrestrained, and the language is true but not rough. From the formal point of view, Beige is mainly composed of five words and four sentences, but it also creates a seven-character four-sentence quatrain, develops seven-character ancient style and miscellaneous style, and has a direct impact on the development of poetry in Tang Dynasty. For example, "Mulan Poetry" has an exemplary role in the seven-character poems in the Tang Dynasty.
