Xoan singing or hát xoan (Vietnamese for 'spring singing', Chữ Nôm: 咭春) is a genre of Vietnamese folk music performed in spring during the first two months of the Tết Nguyên Đán in Phú Thọ Province.^[1] The genre includes acting, ceremony, chant, dancing, drumming, and singing; with themes involve romance, riddles, and work.^[1] Traditionally occurring in temples, shrines, and communal homes, the songs are performed by a guild, led by a trùm, consisting of male instrumentalists, or kép, and female singers, or đào.^[2] A guild consists of ten to fifteen performers,^[1] but there are few remaining, increasingly aging, guilds and teachers of this primarily oral tradition.^[2]

There are three types of xoan singing: honoring Hùng kings and Thành hoàng (village guardian gods); wishing for good crops, health, and luck; and festive courtship songs alternating male and female voices.^[2] The texture is "spare"; perfect fourths are prominent; and instruments include drums and clappers.^[2]

Hát is singing or acting and xoan derives from xuân ('spring').^[1] Hát xoan has been inscribed on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding since 2011.^[2]
