The Genre Form of She Music

Luoshe folk songs have their own relatively fixed and regular format, and retain some features of ancient poetic literature and refined, vivid and vivid language art, which can be roughly divided into two categories: "duet" and "tune": understood literally as duet, the main feature is that there are many paragraphs, from seven to eight to hundreds, mainly determined according to the story, with more auxiliary words and more freedom. Each paragraph is generally a repetition of the format of the first paragraph, sometimes it changes according to the change of tune, and generally appears at the climax and end of the song. It is often used in story songs, such as Song of Ancestors, Legend of the White Snake, Dream of Red Mansions, etc.

There is also the format of segmented songs in Liange:

A segmented song means that the lyrics are connected in series according to the order of year, month, four seasons or the old weight unit and the perfect number "ten". It's usually from January to December, from one to two to sixteen, from one to ten, and so on. Each paragraph is interrelated and is generally used for long historical stories with all-encompassing contents. Corresponding to a couplet, it means that the number of paragraphs in a song is small, generally not more than two. This format is widely used, such as love songs, miscellaneous songs, riddle songs, labor songs and so on.

But the requirements for a song are strict: a "song" is divided into two parts, each part has four sentences and seven words, and the last word of the first, third and fourth sentences must rhyme. The expression of the first two sentences of each song must be consistent, and the words can overlap, but the words and rhymes at the end of the first sentence, the third sentence and the fourth sentence in the first song and the second song cannot be the same, which is called "ending change".
