Among Hakka and Han music "silk string music" and "Qing music", there have always been "major tunes" and "string tunes". "Major key" refers to music whose length is sixty-eight bars and belongs to the sixty-eight bars system. "Chuantiao" refers to the opening and transition music used in opera music (Han opera) to coordinate the plot and stage performances, as well as to exaggerate and enhance the stage atmosphere. Chuantiao music varies in length, ranging from dozens of boards to more than ten boards.

Since Hakka and Han music is basically a folk instrumental music with a title, in many "major" music, the artistic conception and emotion of the music are revealed through the title, reflecting certain ideological content and taste. Such as "Water Lotus", "Zhaojun's Resentment", "Yashan Sorrow", "Nostalgia", etc.; however, there are also pieces of music that although have titles, express certain emotions, but do not express specific musical images, such as "Nanjin Palace" , "Beijing Palace", etc.; some only indicate the origin and source of the music, or briefly indicate some of the characteristics and uses of its music, such as "Single Nod", "Random Arrangement of Flowers", etc. As a type of music, although some music is marked with a title, the emotion expressed in the music is not necessarily related to the title, and is only used as a symbol of a tune. Hakka Han music belongs to Qupai music, which is a suite structure or Qupai couplet structure. In traditional performances, some pieces of music have variations from Adagio to Allegro in the same piece of music, while some pieces of music have a variation from Adagio to Allegro in a combination of another piece of music, which is the form of a suite. In addition, there are several music pieces from the same palace system that form a suite of songs, forming a couplet structure. During the performance, the adagio, medium plate, and allegro are played in order, but they are strictly kept "in the same palace to the end" in order to achieve the unity of mode and tonality. Generally, "soft wire" is connected to "soft wire" music, and "hard wire" is connected to "hard wire" music. According to traditional performance habits, for example, "Out of Water Lotus" is often followed by "Zhaojun's Resent" and "Yashan Ai", and "Jade Link" is often followed by "Jiama Suo" and "Falling Money" into a suite. Since Hakka and Han music comes from the folk, it often features improvisational variations. Players often play freely according to the characteristics of different instruments according to the "diaogu" (that is, the general score of the main tune), thus forming different styles and schools. The stringed instruments of Hakka and Han music include Touxian, Tihu and Yehu. Since the musical instruments have different pitches and ranges, they may be played in the same key but with different strings. The lead instrument is played with the "forward finger" (string 5 2), while other stringed instruments are played with the "reverse finger" (string 1 5 or 2 6 string) to form different tune changes.

In addition, when different types of instruments form an ensemble, due to the different performance characteristics of the instruments and differences in playing techniques, not only the timbre is contrasted, but also the direction of the tune and the use of rhythmic patterns are varied. Therefore, it has the variation characteristics of "branch" polyphonic elements.
