in the song dynasty, with the development of urban economy, citizens' literature and art flourished, and the city's "Wazi" (also known as "Washe" and "Washi") was an important place for citizens' music activities. The folk performance place enclosed by railings in the tile, called "Goulan" or "Youpeng", has the embryonic form of China city theater. There is a large audience in the tile. According to Meng Yuan-shen's Record of Dreams in Tokyo in the Southern Song Dynasty, there are two tiles in Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. "Among them, there are more than 5 large and small goulan, among which the lotus shed, peony shed, Riwazi hag shed and elephant shed are the largest, which can accommodate thousands of people." Among them, all kinds of entertainment activities, "don't judge people by the wind, rain, cold and heat, every day." The existence of Wazi enables all kinds of folk art forms to communicate and absorb frequently, and the artistic performance forms are also improving day by day, which makes the artists more professional. These also provide a good performance environment for all kinds of music activities.

There are many artistic genres in the music life of the citizens in Song Dynasty, mainly including singing "Shout", "Pusing", "Little Singing" and "Singing Earn" and rap "Ya Ci", "Tao Zhen", "Drum Ci" and "Zhugong Tune".
