Variations in the music include huaqiang, huoqiang, tunqiang, and even "Olive" tones, so-called for the way in which the music moves from soft to strong and back to soft again in the same way that an olive is small at the end, large in the middle, and small again at the other end.
音樂上的變化有滑腔、豁腔、頓腔等，至於橄欖腔，則是形容聲音由弱轉強、再由強轉弱的過程，像個橄欖形狀。
