Qingyue is music popular in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Qingyue was popular in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, popular folk music was called Qingyue. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the folk music of the Han nationality was widely influenced by the music of ethnic minorities mainly in the Western Regions. Under the influence of the national music of ethnic minorities, the popular music of the Han people developed the Qingyue heptatonic scale. The Qingyue heptatonic scale solved the contradiction between the mutual transformation of the pentatonic scale and the heptatonic scale in the pre-Qin period.

Through the seven-tone scale of Qingyue, Han folk music has been transformed into richer musical colors. At the same time, the music is more diverse and there are more possibilities for connecting the music. The opposite of Qingle is Yale. In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Ya had the same meaning as "Ya" in "Ya Song" in the Book of Songs, which meant formality and etiquette. Yale has a serious form and neat structure. It refers to serious music formulated by the state and can be played in ancestral temples and halls.
