"Sing a pig slope scenery is good, the songs are noisy. The men and women who chop firewood and pick firewood are back. Singing folk songs is really nice. At night, when singing the fragrant pavilion, the bell rings ... "This is the scene of a folk song duet competition in the eighth capital of the year. In 2008, people from several villages in Badu 10 sang programs such as Eighteen Couples, Four Seasons Songs, and I Sing a Song for My Brother. The tone was either touching and graceful, or rough and unrestrained. Like the sea singing with countless waves. According to the people in the local cultural station, the folk songs of Nian Ba Du can be sung by one person or by many people. No fixed lyrics, a lot of improvisation. The content mainly shows people's life, labor, love and marriage. But if you listen carefully, Nianbadu folk songs have many characteristics of Yunnan-Guizhou plateau folk songs, which fully shows that Nianbadu culture is inextricably linked with customs and relics in other places.

The volume of the folk singing class is as thick as a mountain; Rhyme is as pure as a stream; The beat is as vigorous as pine; The range is as wide as that of vilen. At that time, the flute, erhu, suona, drums and cymbals were all ringing, and students, Dan, Jing and Ugliness came unexpectedly, such as a sudden shower, such as the burst of awakening wood, frustrated sound, strong excitement and brilliant light, and gold was cultivated. There are 9 people in the singing class, nominally only singing Jiangxi Opera. Gan Opera was once a local opera in Jiangxi, with four major factions. It has been more than 300 years since Yihuang in Nanchang spread to Erbadu. This time, Jin Zonghuai sang "Man Tang Fu" for the foreman's singing class. In the past, the Gan Opera in Zhaguantang, the teahouse in the market and the Langcao Department became the favorite music of people in Badu.
