Yuefu folk songs.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the large influx of ethnic minorities made the Central Plains Dynasty begin to absorb a large amount of Western Region culture. The exchange of music culture was mainly dominated by foreign music culture.

Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties Period|||In the 4th century AD, the Western Jin Dynasty fell and the Eastern Jin Dynasty established its capital in Jiankang, but the north was still in a situation of frequent wars among the Sixteen Kingdoms. As the country's political center moved southward, northern music culture also flowed into the south of the Yangtze River and was transferred to the south of the Yangtze River. The Xianghe songs and Xianghe songs since the Han and Wei dynasties were combined with Jiangnan folk music, resulting in a new music style and form - "Qing Shang Yue", which is Yuefu folk songs.

Xianghege: Originally a Han Dynasty folk song, it was compiled by the Yuefu and added with orchestral accompaniment. It is called "the silk and bamboo are more harmonious, and the song of the executive". Hence the name. Later, after development, a song and dance form with a more complex structure was created, called "Xianghe Daqu", with a structure divided into parts such as Yan, Jie, Tendency, and Chaos.

Qing Dynasty Shang Yue: Xianghe songs of the Han and Wei dynasties, Xianghe daqu, etc. were passed down to the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and were preserved in Yuefu. At this time, Wu songs and Western music emerged among the people, so they were called "Jiangnan Wu songs, Jingchu Western music", and collectively called Qing Shang music.

Drumming music: During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Beidi music was introduced to the Central Plains, combined with Han folk music, and gradually used for court banquets.

The Han, Wei and Six Dynasties were famous for their Yuefu folk songs. "Yuefu" was originally a music institution established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to train musicians, formulate music scores and collect lyrics, including a large number of folk songs. Later, "Yuefu" became the name of a musical poetry style. It is preserved today The fifty or sixty Han Yuefu folk songs truly reflect the suffering life of the lower class people.

Yuefu was a palace official office established by the feudal dynasty of the Han Dynasty to manage music. It first started in the Qin Dynasty and ended in the Han Dynasty. The name of the Qin Dynasty was used. In 112 BC, the Han Dynasty officially established the Yuefu during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It was mainly in charge of music and supervised the collection of folk songs from various places, so that they could be sung at court banquets or sacrifices. The Yuefu collected and sang them. The poems are called Yuefu poems.

According to the "Book of Han·Liyue Zhi", during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was an organization called "Yuefu" that collected songs from various places and compiled and formulated music scores. By the Tang Dynasty, although the music scores of these poems had long been lost, this form was passed down and became a modern style without strict rhythm. The expansion and development of the Yuefu in the Western Han Dynasty was during the period of Emperor Wu. By the end of Emperor Cheng's reign, the Yuefu had more than 800 people and became a large-scale music institution. The more than 100 years during the reign of Emperor Cheng were the period of prosperity of Yuefu. Emperor Ai ascended the throne and issued an edict to dismiss Yuefu officials, reduce the number of Yuefu personnel, and place the remaining parts under the jurisdiction of Taiyue Order. From then on, there was no Yuefu system in the Han Dynasty.
