ABSTRACT

After a group of Hakka people migrated to Meizhou at the end of the Qing Dynasty in China, Hakka folk songs began to circulate widely in areas such as Meizhou. Rooted in the soil of real life, these songs represent oral creations by the masses and possess unique artistic characteristics. The tonal language of folk songs, based on the intonation of the Hakka language, gives rise to a distinctive vocal art form. As a type of migratory culture, Hakka folk songs have been introduced into various areas, continually enriching and developing amidst long-term labor and life. Through their blending with local cultures, they have formed a uniquely enchanting style.
