The origin of Hakka folk songs is urgent.
Speaking of the origin of Hakka folk songs, Meizhou also has a beautiful legend. According to legend, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a famous female singer named Liu Sanmei in Songkou, Meizhou. She not only has a good voice, but also is very clever. She sings folk songs freely. Because her duet is very famous in the local area, many male and female singers come here to sing with her. One day, Liu Sanmei was washing clothes by the river when a boat came from the downstream. A scholar stood on the boat and asked to sing with Liu Sanmei. Seeing the arrogance of scholars, Third Sister asked how many songs you dared to find in Liu Sanmei. The scholar immediately replied: What I talk about most is singing folk songs. There are seven or eight reeds on board. I will take out one of them to mow the grass next year. Liu Sanmei was very funny and then sang, "Liu Sanmei, where did this scholar come from?" ? Since ancient times, folk songs have entered the mouth, and there are no folk songs on board. Hearing this, the scholar realized that he was no match for Third Sister at all. Since then, "folk songs have existed since ancient times" has become a famous folk sentence.
