Abstract: Adopting the artistic form of the traditional folk ballads and integrating the red, or revolutionary, themes, the red ballads of Longnan present rich and creative artistic characteristics. The realistic writing technique of “inspiration from an event” of the yuefu folk songs of the Han Dynasty (202 B.C. - 220 A.D.) greatly enriches their ideological connotation: fu, or descriptive narration, demonstrates the red themes directly; bi, or figurative narration, integrates characteristics of the local folk ballads; and xing, or associative narration, can inspire the audience. In fact, even these traditional writing techniques have been revitalized by the red ballads. In addition, they achieve deep integration between folk culture and revolutionary consciousness by constructing experience situations where folk culture and popular language interacts with red image groups, demonstrating unique artistic appeal. It is practical and significant that the red ballads of Longnan, as a form of intangible cultural heritage, be valued, preserved and inherited to make sure that their historical and cultural value shall survive time.
