Ediang is a type of love song sung by the young adults of the Han people in Danxian of Hainan Island, China. Some aspects of the ediang. such as the related local customs and some characteristics of the songs, are unique in Chinese Han culture. They show influences of outside cultures. In contrast to the strong Han tradition and the general tendency toward decline of Chinese folk songs, the ediang has not only survived but developed continuously and flourished. It deserves further research, which may yield significant results not only for the study of ethnomusicoiogy, but also for the studies of folklore and sociology
