Reasons for the Development of Folk Rap Literature since the Song Dynasty
China's rap music has a long history. Rap music belongs to an important category of traditional music in China, and it is a form of rap folk music that integrates literature, music and performance.

Song Dynasty was in the transitional period of feudal society in China, and the society was relatively stable. Commercial trade further developed in the society at that time, which promoted the emergence and growth of the civil class. Because of their relatively high living standard and cultural level, they have more leisure time than ordinary farmers, which leads to the rise and gradual development of local recreational activities, and simple recreational activities can no longer meet their requirements.

Folk performance venues surrounded by railings have appeared in citizens' literary activities, and they are called tile houses, also known as "tile houses" and "tile markets", which have already begun to take shape like urban theaters in China. It is an important place for citizens' music activities in the Song Dynasty.

The existence of Wazi enables various folk art forms to be frequently exchanged and absorbed, and the artistic expression forms are also improving day by day, making artists more professional. These also provide a good performance environment for all kinds of music activities.

Influenced by social and commercial activities, music activities are gradually pushed to the market, cultural activities and market commodity transactions are more cohesive than before, and rap art begins to flourish.
