 | | A large number of Hakka songs only employ three notes, but this in no way hampers the expression of the melodies and the feelings of the songs. |
 | | The following areas are the chief places where Hakka songs are concentrated: Meizhou, Xingning, jiaoling, Wuhua and Dabu in northeast Guangdong Province; Wan'an, Suichuan, Xingguo and Ruijin in jiangxi Province; and Ninghua, Changting, Longyan and Shanghang in west Fujian Province. |
 | | Representative songs are Both Sldes of my New Emfbroibered Purse Are Red Seeing Him off in His Boat and Autumn Moon Reunion from Guangdong; Singing a MOuntain Song from Jiangxi, and Gazinga the Autumn Moon, The DownPour and the Drizzle and The Wind Makes the Bamboo Leaves Tinkle from Fujan. |
