Why do many people like folk songs and hate country music?
Country music is a western-style term, not native to China. This name appeared in the United States in the 1920s and has a wide origin. At that time, the content of songs, in addition to expressing work and life, hated lonely and wandering life, yearned for a warm and peaceful home, and sang sweet love and the pain of lovelorn. In singing, people used to sing in their own voice at first, mostly in the form of solo or chorus, with guitar, banjo, harmonica and violin. The tunes of country music are generally smooth and beautiful, and the music structure is relatively simple. Most of them are ballads in two or three parts. Clothing is also more casual, even if you participate in competitions and perform in important occasions in concert halls, you don't have to wear costumes. Jeans, casual clothes, leather straw hats and sneakers are all ok. The two most important components of country music are string accompaniment (usually guitar or electric guitar, and often Hawaiian guitar and violin) and singer's voice.
