This paper analyzes the cognition and definition of the term "singing method" from the perspectives of different subjects. Based on the practical interactive context of national vocal music and traditional Chinese opera vocal music, it distinguishes the conceptual boundaries between singing method and vocalization technique. By tracing back to the historical context of the "dispute between indigenous and Western singing styles", combined with field investigation and literature research, this paper reveals that singing method is an organic unity of sound expression and textual presentation. On the sound level, it involves the synergistic effect of vocalization technique and the rhyme and prosody of Chinese characters; on the textual level, it relates to the in-depth connection between creative modes and tune patterns.
