Why do songs in Minnan always cry? Is it related to the area where it is located? Or because of some social background?

First, I think it has something to do with the pronunciation of Minnan dialect. Pronunciation is inverted, a word is sung slowly, and "drag" is inverted.

Secondly, the Minnan language is close to the old saying, and the customs retain ancient elements, so the singing rhythm is slow and it is easy to have a natural and sad atmosphere;

Thirdly, in addition to the theme of love that most songs have, Minnan songs have a more special theme-homesickness. Because there are many immigrants from southern Fujian, people who work hard outside miss their loved ones, are homesick, have lofty aspirations and are sad, such as Bobby Chen's drums and Ye Qitian's hometown.

Fourth, most importantly, when singing Minnan songs, we should advocate the feeling of "nasal" (for example, think about Zhang Yu's singing feeling), which sounds "vigorous". People who are not used to it think it is "crying." After getting used to it, they will understand that this is an ancient cultural heritage. Many years ago, the ancients in China sang and recited poems in this way. For example, Japanese singing is "sad", which is the inheritance of China's Tang Dynasty culture.
