Han-tune music originated from ancient folk music in the Central Plains, moved southward with Hakka people, merged with local music and evolved into a variety with local characteristics. Mainly distributed in eastern Guangdong, southern Jiangxi, southwestern Fujian, Taiwan Province and among overseas Chinese Hakkas.

There are various percussion instruments commonly used, such as Touxian, Tihu, Coconut Hu, Yangqin, Yuexian, Sanxian, Pipa, Xiaosuona, flute, Dong Xiao, Sheng, Yunban, etc. There are several performance combinations, and the traditional forms are Chord, Gong and Drum Blowing, Qingle and Zhongjun Class.

the traditional method of developing tunes in Chinese music is to divide a piece of music into three sections: adagio, middle board and tight board. The middle board and tight board are to subtract the words from the adagio's tunes and condense and refine the original decorative and dense melody into backbone sounds. Representative tracks include "Hundred Spring" and "Water Lotus".
