In terms of mode, Wuhe folk songs are mostly mode. Such as picking pomegranates, visiting sisters in four seasons, and worrying in five seasons. However, many minor patterns alternate with each other in melody. For example, "Four Seasons Huaibei Fu" started with the Gongdiao mode, and later turned to the key signature mode, but the last sentence ended with a feather tone, giving people a sudden freshness. It makes people feel that the meaning is still unfinished and meaningful. This rich modal color has also formed its unique style in Wuhe folk songs.
In Wuhe folk songs, many music themes have common characteristics in rhythm and melody line, such as picking pomegranate, singing in the north of the four seasons, playing with vegetable moss and so on. However, due to the different ways of expressing and producing melodies, they have their own characteristics and different flavors. These songs should be regarded as authentic local folk songs of Wuhe. There are also some folk songs from other places, such as Baduanjin and The Mermaid. These songs, which have been circulated and sung in Wuhe area for a long time, have changed their original features, injected some local tonal features and alienated into folk songs with Wuhe characteristics. The singing of Wuhe folk songs was mainly oratorio, and then gradually developed into accompaniment. Its related musical instruments can be divided into three categories: playing, beating and percussion.
1, playing, mainly erhu, erhu is made of snake skin and snake scalp, commonly known as Yumeko (dialect), and some people use homemade Qin Liu as an accompaniment tool.
2. Playing, mainly suona, flute and sheng.
3. Percussion music mainly consists of self-made bangzi, which is simply replaced by wooden sticks and boards.
