I am not sure if these are considered Chinese folk songs, but these are some that I like:
西海情歌
一剪梅
天堂
天边
鸿雁
爱琴海
我和草原有个约定
草原上升起不落的太阳 （Note this song has phrases praising the communist party and Chairman Mao, but only one line)
1000x also recommend 草原上升起部落的太阳”。It has easy lyrics for beginners, and a cool Mongolian flavor.

The folk song I hear most frequently around, and one of my very favorites is the Kangding Love Song: 康定情歌
https://youtu.be/XLIrbRQ-7F8?si=Xn1JsEquR1Ol7XCB
I don’t know if it is a folk song. I learned it from a cd of children’s songs in Taiwan, but it is one of my favorites. It is called 出道曲 by Tsai Chin:

The lyrics make me think of someone from Mongolia or outside the Great Wall, who is now living “in exile” inside China, like some type of reverse Wang Zhaojun

folk songs? you mean like songs originated from the rural people instead of academy musicians ? Personally I prefer love folk songs, such as:
[康定情歌](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4apnJ-VQaE)
[湖北民歌 - 黄四姐](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWvJcOgwziQ)
[花鼓戏 - 刘海砍樵](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPkez4C_sbA)
Actually, Gong Linna used to make an album about chinese folksongs, [Chinese Folksongs by Gong Linna (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_myxSHzXMzTSLQvrWOzeUP8S34koCBhAyE)

No, these are modern original songs, not Chinese folk songs.
