Folk songs that are popular and full of national color are called ballads or folk songs.

Folk songs have a long history, so their authors are mostly unknown.

Folk songs are rich in content, including religion, love, war, work, drinking, dancing and music, festivals, etc.

Folk songs not only express the feelings and customs of a nation, so each has its own unique scale and emotional style.

For example, the exuberance of French folk songs, the enthusiasm of Italian folk songs, the simplicity of British folk songs, the sorrow and indignation of Japanese folk songs, the wild and unrestrained Spanish folk songs, and the lingering pathos of Chinese folk songs all express strong national temperament and color.
