所謂嘅「歌仔冊」最早出現於清乾隆時期，一直延續到今日為止，係一種表現濃厚地方語言色彩嘅庶民文學。其作品多數係七字一句嘅韻文形式，但係押韻唔係幾整齊。其用字有「擬音」、「擬意」同「造字」等三種方式。由於唱本售價低廉，用語用字通俗易明，令佢影響層面迅速擴大到中低階層嘅廣大羣眾。「歌仔冊」嘅用字最代表得到閩南話嘅通俗文字(侯俊榮 nd；王順隆 2002)。
The so-called "Song Album" first appeared in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and has continued to this day, which is a kind of common folk literature that expresses a strong local language. Most of his works are in the form of seven-character and one-sentence rhymes, but the rhymes are not very neat. There are three ways to use words: "foley", "mimesis" and "word making". Due to the low price of the album and the easy to understand the language, his influence quickly expanded to the middle and lower classes. The characters used in the "Song Tsai Book" are the most representative of the popular characters obtained from the Hokkien dialect (Hou Junrong ND; Wang Shunlong 2002).
