The role of Jiangxi folk songs: education and inheritance

Among some ethnic minorities in my country, there are folk songs that sing long narrative poems and historical poems. For example, the "Mei Ge" of the Yi ethnic group, the "Ancient Song" of the Miao ethnic group, the "Pan Wang Song" of the Yao ethnic group, the "Creation of Heaven and Earth Song" of the Hani ethnic group, the "Munao Zhaiwa" of the Jingpo ethnic group, and the "Panwang Song" of the Dulong ethnic group. "Genesis", the Lisu people's "Muguji" and so on.

These songs describe ancient myths and legends about the origin of the universe and mankind, the ancestors' understanding of some natural phenomena, and knowledge of history, production, life and etiquette. These songs have less ups and downs in tunes, are highly recitative, and are long in length. Some of the lyrics are tens of thousands of lines long, and it usually takes hours or even days to sing them all. These songs are often sung by wizards or respected old people during festivals, sacrifices, weddings and funerals, and the atmosphere is solemn.
