Social Background and Historical Factors of Hakka Songs

The Hakka songs are the oral literature of the Hakka people, which are rich in the language characteristics of the Hakka people and form an independent part of the folk songs. The Hakka people, because of their environment, work all day long in the fields and mountains, and both men and women, there is no strict difference between "men's work outside and women's work inside". The character of Hakka people, most of them are simple and hardworking, seldom lethargic and pompous, preserving the style of the ancient Central Plains people. These are quite related to the production of Hakka songs. Any kind of art has its social background and historical origin. Hakka songs are popular in the Hakka area, there are about the following four reasons:

First, the Hakka are mostly distributed in the mountainous areas of the provinces of eastern and southern China, daily life and the "mountain" relationship, and Hakka custom is that women and men also serve as a variety of operations in the mountains in the long-term mountain **** with the work of men and women to talk to each other about their feelings is to be expected. It is expected that men and women will talk to each other during the long hours of work in the mountains, and the mountain songs are words with rhythms, which are more capable of expressing their feelings than ordinary language.

Secondly, the Hakka people live in mountainous areas and work hard, and once they go to the mountains or the valley of the wilderness, they can't help but feel their hearts bursting with joy, and they want to sing a few songs to give vent to their feelings.

Third, the old Hakka because there is no other more complete and universal folk entertainment, usually inhibit the emotions can not get the proper vent, and singing songs is a popular entertainment, so the general men and women on it have *** with the favorite.

Fourth, in the Hakka society, the old rituals are very strict, usually in the family or in the countryside, men and women keep strict boundaries between them, except for the couple relationship, social activities between men and women are very rare. Even between husband and wife, there are few easy life programs. Since they are overly restrained at home, it is as if their spirits are liberated when they go to the mountains, so they will naturally sing mountain songs.

The content and nature of Hakka songs can be broadly categorized into the following three types: First, they are self-indulgent or self-indulgent, and they may not be sung with an object, but they can be sung alone and hummed casually to spice up the boring mood. The second is the flirtatious songs between men and women, which is the most important part of Hakka songs. Thirdly, it belongs to the playful song, that is, one of the men and women to the other side of the first playful attitude to sing a song, the other side if the reaction is to each other with the song to make fun of ridicule each other, such as no reaction, you can know that she (he) is an honest and can be deceived or will not be able to sing the song of the people, then you can be more indulgent up.
