Introduction to Guangdong hanle

Applicant: Dapu County, Guangdong Province

Guangdong Han music is distributed in Meizhou, Shantou, Shaoguan, Huiyang and other areas of Guangdong Province. It is also represented by Dapu County of Meizhou City, which was formerly known as Hakka music, waijiangxian music, Confucian music, Han music, etc. According to the investigation, it was brought in by the Han people in ancient times when they moved from the Central Plains to the south. It is known as "Zhongzhou ancient music". It has a history of at least 500 years in Dapu. Guangdong Han music retains the characteristics of the original Central Plains music, and integrates with the local folk music of Dapu (such as Ta Ba Yin, Chinese military class music), while absorbing some elements of Chao music (such as big gongs and drums). It has become one of the three major music types in Guangdong.

According to the traditional performance forms, long-term performance habits and different uses, Guangdong Han music can be divided into five categories. One is silk string music, commonly known as "chords". It is the most popular and popular performance form in Guangdong Han music. When playing, it is led by the first string (commonly known as "diaoguizi") or Tihu, accompanied by Yangqin, Sanxian, dizi, YeHu and other musical instruments. The second is Qing music, also known as Confucian music. It pursues a more elegant performance form, which is preferred by scholars. When playing, there are few musical instruments, mainly including guzheng, pipa, YeHu, Dongxiao, etc., known as "three pieces" of Zheng, PA and Hu. Third, the Han music big gongs and drums, also known as the eight tones. It is mainly used in traditional Hakka festivals such as folk God greeting contests or Lantern Festival. When playing, it is mainly played by suona, supplemented by percussion instruments such as big drum, Su Gong, big and small cymbals, bowl Gong, bronze, small gong and Ma Gong (for eight tones). Fourth, the music of the Chinese military class. Historically, it was mainly played by professional or semi professional folk music troupes.
