Chanheban Chant, also known as Shanheban Chant and Kaiyuanban Chant, is a type of local Buddhist music. It has been 250 years since Huashou Temple in Luofu Mountain spread the art form to Chaozhou in 1736. Within this comprehensive Buddhist chanting system, there are nearly 90 musical pieces. It is said the chanting with a trace of Guangdong ballad style originated from Guangzhou. It has thrived in the musical city of Chaozhou, becoming more local.

The chanting pieces come in various forms and contents. Among the nearly 90 titles, some are for Buddhist rituals, such as Great Offering for Spirits, Confession to Heavenly Bodhisattvas and Great Compassion Confession. Be it small or large, a group of chanters should follow specific rules and orders when performing. The chanting integrates beautiful and gentle voices, orderly rhythms and smooth melodies, bringing spiritual delights to the singers and listeners to refresh the minds and ease the burdens. The Chanheban Chant is a shining pearl of Buddhist music citywide and even nationwide. In 2018, it was listed as a representative musical art in the 7th batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage.
