There are 25 ballads such as "Nan Zhou" and "Zhao Nan" in The Book of Songs, the earliest collection of poems in ancient China, which mainly spread in the upper reaches of Hanshui River, including Ziyang. Ziyang folk songs gradually matured with the formation and development of people's living customs in the process of dynasty change, and reached its peak in Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to the war and famine, a large number of people in southern Shaanxi (including Hanzhong, Ankang and Shangzhou) died and moved, resulting in a large number of barren fields and economic decline. A large number of foreign refugees fled due to disasters; Or because it avoids excessive taxes; Or because of the small population and land, there is no land to grow; Or because the land was taken away by the court; Spontaneous flow into the mountainous area of southern Shaanxi with a large number of ownerless wasteland. In addition, there are also some foreigners who immigrated to southern Shaanxi because they became naturalized after doing business, or settled in official positions, or retired. At the same time, the imperial court adopted an organized resettlement policy, forcing a large number of farmers from densely populated and narrow areas in the south and rich areas to move into wasteland in southern Shaanxi. This is the famous event of "Huguang filling Shaanxi" in history. The great migration of population not only promoted the development and economic development of southern Shaanxi, but also caused the mutual integration of different cultures, which made the folk customs, folk literature and art, dialects and dialects in southern Shaanxi strongly branded as the birthplace of Hakka people. Hakkas from different counties in southern Shaanxi have different backgrounds and different cultural influences. Hakka people who moved to Ziyang in the Ming and Qing Dynasties "mostly came from Hubei, Sichuan, Hunan and Anhui, and mostly from Jiangxi, Henan, Fujian and Guangdong." Looking at today's Ziyang folk songs, in the southern mountainous areas connected with Sichuan mountains and rivers and where Sichuan immigrants are concentrated, Ziyang folk songs with strong Sichuan folk songs are loud and clear, with a long cavity and a long tail, and the tunes of Ziyang folk songs can be seen everywhere.

Especially in the market towns along the Han River, there are a large number of descendants of businessmen from the two lakes and the south of the Yangtze River who come here to do business. A considerable part of the lyrics sung here reflect the life mood of the citizens. The minor music here has the characteristics of soft timbre, beautiful melody and soft southern music, which is in sharp contrast with the high-pitched, bright and wide-ranging folk songs and tunes sung in falsetto. The formation of folk songs in southern Shaanxi, represented by Ziyang folk songs, is directly related to immigration activities in history.

The song that Ziyang farmers sing when they are doing "helping others" is called "gongs and drums". The singing method of "gongs and drums" is that one person knocks and sings by himself, and everyone works to help. If someone doesn't dig the grass roots into the soil while working, the leader will sing: "Hey-the grass grows after a rain, and it lives again." Sweating in the hot sun, the bamboo basket draws water with a sieve! "If everyone works very fast and someone lags behind, he will sing urging or say a few well-meaning sarcastic words:" Hey-the geese will not fly away from the crowd, they have to work harder. Don't be like a lazy toad in the corner, stop at once, hurry! "Ziyang people are mostly descendants of immigrants from Hunan, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Fujian, Guangdong and other places in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, so Ziyang folk songs have obvious southern imprints, and quite a few of them are directly from the south.

There are two kinds of song parties: "day parties" and "night parties". Singers only agree on the time, place and number of participants in advance, regardless of gender, age and age. In addition to the "singer" and "singer", there are people watching and cheering for the array. The "day meeting" is mostly on the hillside, and the two sides stand on a hill and "sing" face to face. Or sing on both sides of a small river across the water. "Duige" mostly belongs to "Pange". Some people question history, ancients, geography and myth, while others question birds, animals and flowers. Some ask questions about current affairs, while others sing happy life. "Night Songs" are often held in winter and spring. In ancient temples or spacious "public houses". On both sides of the song, a pile of charcoal fire was burned, and men, women and children sat around the fire. You sing the questions and I'll sing the answers. You sing a hero, I sing a hero; You sing famous mountains, I sing great rivers; You sing Liu Hai Xi Jin Chan, and I sing Dong Bin Xi Peony. Singing is like a stream, one after another, with wisdom and warm atmosphere, often staying up all night and singing nonstop. The collection of Ziyang folk songs is extremely rich.
