Nanjing dialect
Baiju is the most important folk art form in the Nanjing region at present, which features singing in the form of the typical Nanjing dialect. It has many local characteristics that are subordinate to the language, on the premise that languages obey their contents. Performers sing baiju by the typical Nanjing dialect, on the basis of the Nanjing public language. The basic structure of the libretto, the processing of each rhythm, and the singing form are all in close connection with the language law of the Nanjing dialect.
