Answer to Question 1

 Each performer sustains the tradition of his/her song in a new setting: Jin's as folkloric hobby he was also a local cultural officer in addition to being an agricultural worker and Zhao's in the sphere of music education she learned her song as a student in a Chinese conservatory of music.

Answer to Question 2

 Both songs use a two-phrase design with vocal cries added to the solo singing.
 Releasing . . . is more straightforward in structure.
 Releasing . . . is in a clear duple meter vs. the free metered Weeding Song.
 Zhao's repertory includes songs from all across the Chinese world, while Jin's repertory is a local set of tunes and songs.
 Jin learned to reshape one main melody to fit a wide range of song texts; Zhao memorized in the classroom a contrasting series of fixed-format songs.
 Jin sings in Wu, a local dialect in his region; Zhao sings her songs in the widely used Mandarin Chinese.
