Hakka hill song

Hakka hill songs (Chinese: 客家山歌; pinyin: Kèjiā shāngē; Hakka: [hak˥ka˦ san˦ kɔ˦]) are rural songs sung in the Hakka language by the Hakka people. They are probably one of the better known elements that reflect Hakka culture, regarded by many as the 'pearl of Hakka Literature'. Hakka hill songs vary in theme from love to personal conduct. In the past, they are said to have been used as a method of courting between young men and women.
