Folk songs are an art treasure in the traditional Chinese music culture.The colorful and different styles of folk songs in the north and the south reflect,with their unique artistic charm,the life and spiritual outlook of the people for thousands of years from all aspects,and become the symbol of the various ethnic music culture.This paper takes two folk songs of the same theme,"Love Sister Washing clothes in the River" and "Qin Ge Dan Washing clothes in the River",and discusses the four chapters: introduction summary,cause analysis,musical characteristics,singing style and emotional expression.The first chapter is the introduction part,focusing on the purpose and significance of the thesis topic selection,the relevant research review at home and abroad,research methods and innovation.The second chapter mainly analyzes the background reasons and differences of the two folk songs of the same theme from three aspects of historical origin,geographical environment and folk culture.The third chapter starts with the musical elements of the language style,melody,structure and other musical elements of the two folk songs,and analyzes and compares the musical characteristics of the two.The fourth chapter,combined with my own singing practice,explores the singing skills and emotional expression of the two folk songs,with the same theme and different regions,from the four aspects of breath,language,embellish cavity and stage performance.Throughout the folk songs of the country,similar folk songs of the same theme are very common,and the relationship between them is of great significance to the study of the evolution and dissemination of Chinese traditional music.Through the research,I hope that more colleagues will pay attention to and participate in the research and singing practice of the phenomenon of folk songs with the same theme,so as to make a contribution to the inheritance of Chinese folk songs.
