1, rough and generous style:

The lyrics of folk songs in the Northern Dynasties often appear rough and bold, which is because of the influence of the living environment of nomadic people in the North at that time.

On the vast grassland, people's lifestyles and cultural customs are different from those of the agricultural society in South China, so the folk songs of the Northern Dynasties also have the same characteristics. The melody and rhythm of songs are often relatively simple, showing a rough and unrestrained temperament.

2. Directly express the theme of love:

Another feature of folk songs in the Northern Dynasties is the direct expression of the theme of love. In the southern folk songs, the theme of love is often implicit, while the northern folk songs directly express the love for the sweetheart.

For example, Chile's song "I would like to be a branch of the lotus and live in your body" and Mulan's poem "I would like to be your slave in this life and never go against you" are all themes that directly express love.

3, reflect the suffering of the war:

The folk songs of the Northern Dynasties also reflected the sufferings brought by the war. Due to the frequent wars in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the folk songs in the Northern Dynasties are also full of descriptions of wars and sympathy for soldiers.

For example, the song "Running water, choking sound, looking at Qinchuan from afar, deeply grieved" shows the pain and suffering people suffered in the war.

4. Use overlapping words and sentences:

In terms of words, folk songs in the Northern Dynasties often adopt the form of overlapping words and sentences, which can increase the sense of rhythm and musicality of songs.

For example, "Chilechuan, under the Yinshan Mountain" in "Chilechuan". The sky is like the sky, and the cage covers four fields. The sky is gray, the fields are boundless, and the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low. "Overlapping words and sentences make songs more beautiful and beautiful.

In a word, the folk songs of the Northern Dynasties have unique styles, distinctive features, bold and straightforward lyrics, which directly express the theme of love and reflect the suffering of war. At the same time, the use of overlapping words and sentences increases the rhythm and musicality of songs.

These characteristics make the folk songs of the Northern Dynasties unique in China folk music, with high artistic value and cultural significance.
