Folk Music of Townspeople
民间音乐
Like any other ancient nations, the primitive Chinese sang folk songs at hunting, sacrificial rites, wooing, wedding, and pasturing. People pursued music for pleasure. The townspeople were more preoccupied by the “popular music” than by the “refined music” in spite of teachings of Confucianism. Compared with the refined music, the popular music sought after was often music overridden by sensual stimulation，so that the mind of the people might be fully liberated, and that their pursuits for life and love might be fully displayed.
像任何其他古老的民族，原始的中国人在狩猎，祭祀，求婚，婚礼，放牧时唱山歌。人们追求音乐的乐趣。市民都比较喜欢“流行音乐”而不是“文雅音乐”不顾孔子学说的教导。与文雅音乐相比，流行音乐的追捧往往是音乐对感官的刺激，从而使人们的头脑可能完全解放出来，而他们追求的生活和爱情会得到充分展示。
