Abstract
Hu Jichen's "Research on Chinese Folk Songs" has an important position in the academic history of modern folk literature. The book covers a wide range of contents, first defining folk songs, and then sorting out and explaining the ancient and modern Chinese folk song materials, which mainly involves ancient ballad proverbs, ancient lyrical short songs and other short songs, ancient narrative long songs, narrative long songs into dramas, modern lyrical short songs and other short songs, modern narrative long songs, and the difference between folk songs and non-folk songs. These folk songs are extremely rich in both genre and circulation, and have made a relatively comprehensive exposition, providing reference materials for later scholars to carry out folk song research. Its publication has promoted the discipline and systematization of Chinese folk song research. At the same time, due to the limitations of the times and the characteristics of the author's own academic research experience and concepts, the book also has some inadequacies. But all in all, the value and significance of the book in the academic history of modern folk literature is worth mentioning.
