Folk songs and folk types of folk songs

Hakkas began to move south from the Central Plains in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and gradually settled in southern Jiangxi, northwestern Fujian and northeastern Guangdong in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Because their living customs and language still retain some characteristics of the northerners in the Central Plains, they have become a relatively independent branch of the Han nationality. The biggest feature of Hakka music is that the lyrics are very literary, but the tunes are simple, simple and implicit. Lyrics are like driving people out of the house, crowing chickens, giving people something to leave the water, thinking with water, and never raising chickens again. Let go of Jiaying state, the three rivers flow, and two silk threads are knotted, which makes it difficult to give up. The range of the tune is only five degrees, and the four phrases are slowly unfolded in a progressive way, which is very intrinsic. A large number of Hakka folk songs have only four degrees and three tones, but they have not affected the melody and emotional expression at all. Hakka folk songs are mainly spread in Meizhou, Xingning, Jiaoling, Wuhua, Tai Po and other places in northeast Guangdong. Wan 'an, Suichuan, Xingguo and Ruijin in southern Jiangxi; Ninghua, Changting, Longyan and Shanghang in western Fujian. Representative repertoires include New Embroidered Pocket with Two Red Faces, Sending People to Leave Water, Reunion on August 15th (Guangdong), A Row of Folk Songs (Jiangxi), Watching the Moonlight on August 15th, Falling Rain, and The Wind Blows Bamboo Leaves and Disdains Burying (Fujian).
