“Folk singers are more like poets than singers，” Li Yahe，a music businessman，once told China Youth Daily.

That saying perfectly describes Zhang Lei，the 34-year-old champion of the fourth “Voice of China” singing competition，which ended on Oct 7.

Critics thought Zhang's success as a victory for folk singers.The Voice of China used to attach great importance to singing skills and vocal techniques，which are not necessarily what folk singers are good at. “Folk songs are more about emotions and storytelling，” said Li.

Folk is one of the oldest musical styles. It dates back to ancient times，when people sang about their everyday lives and the society around them.

Folk music became popular again in the Western world in the 1960s. During social revolutions，many young Westerners turned to the simple rhythms of folk. Pioneers included US singer Bob Dylan，whose songs are reflections of some social issues like the Vietnam War. Singers at that time used traditional folk instruments like the banjo，the upright bass，the mandolin and the piano.

In the late 1970s，folk music was introduced to Taiwan. The rise of singers like Lo Tayu and Chyi Yu popularized folk music，particularly among young Chinese people.

At that time，folk tunes were based on simple song structures，with pleasant chord progression and pretty lyrics，just like during old times. But they focused more on the dreams and sorrow of youth than on politics.

This continued to be the case when the folk “wave” swept Chinese mainland in the 1990s.

music industry is outdated，not because of the music itself，” folk singer Song Ke once said.

He was right. Recent years have seen folk songs gaining popularity，with the appearance of singers like Li Jian and Song Dongye.

“The popularity of the Internet has shocked the traditional profit model in music industry，” Lu Zhongqiang，manager of 13-Month，a music recording and publishing company，told Tencent Entertainment.“Not-so-well-known music starts showing its strength when the production of mainstream music is declining，” he added.
