Singing folk songs is an important way for She people, a Chinese ethnic group, to impart knowledge of history, culture, production and lifestyle, as well as carry on cultural recreational activities.

She folk song has a long history, followed by the She from generation to generation. It was included in the second batch of the list of national representative intangible cultural heritages in 2008.

The folk songs of She people in Zhejiang province are mainly distributed in the southern part of the province and at the northern foot of Donggong Mountain adjacent to eastern Fujian province.

The tunes of She folk songs in Zhejiang can be divided into Lishui, Jingning, Longquan, Wencheng, Pingyang and Taishun tunes, according to their distribution and the areas where they are popular.

The words and phrases of the same She folk song are basically unchanged, only the rhyme is changed twice, transforming one song into three, which is unique among Chinese folk songs.

Gaohuang Song, which narrates the myth of the origin of the She ethnic group and the history of its ethnic migration, is an important representative example of She folk song.
