This is a list of Chinese folk songs, categorized by region.
In the 1990s, with the spread of music television in China, a new type of folk song began to emerge, known as new folk songs (Chinese: 新民歌) or TV program folk songs (Chinese: 晚会民歌). This type of music typically employs Chinese national vocal (minzu) vocals, with content focused on reflecting national history and culture or promoting the "main melody" — praising the Chinese Communist Party, the minzu, and the People's Liberation Army. Representative singers include Song Zuying, Peng Liyuan, Wang Hongwei.[1] [2]
