"Songs of the rural population were disregarded in China until the early 20th century when Chinese intellectuals began to take a serious interest in the collection of songs from regional cultures. …These 'folk epics' were performed by men & women while working in the rice paddy…Some narrative songs deal with culture heroes, supernatural figures, and rebel leaders. But the vast majority feature amorous encounters between men and women that lead to social opprobrium, punishment, and death. Contemporary Chinese folklore scholars, like their predecessors, have been somewhat disconcerted by the erotic material found in these songs of passionate love."

Several books have been written about the growing risks of war and how such a conflict might start. THE NEXT MAJOR WAR takes a more wide-ranging and in-depth look at the demands such a war would make on the US alliance. Drawing on several years of research on Chinese and American planning, it describes the rather different types of war the two sides are planning to fight. https://www.cambriapress.com/NextMajorWar
