Classification of art speaking and singing:

From the point of view of form, speaking and singing literature can be divided into three categories: one is simple literature, which only sings but doesn't talk, such as bamboo writing and quick writing. One kind uses prose completely, only talks but doesn't sing, such as storytelling.

One kind is the use of rhymes and prose alternately, with talking and singing, such as drum lyrics, paizi songs, tanci and baojuan. According to the historical development, rhyme and prosody are the mainstream, which can be pushed up to the Bianwen between the Tang and Five Dynasties, the script of the Song Dynasty and the Zhugong tune of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties.

Simple Prose and Simple Rhyme are derived from both Prose and Rhyme, which was probably most clearly shown in the Ming Dynasty, and both flourished in the Qing Dynasty.
