Nanyin

Nanyin (Southern tone) is an old and beautiful music and is called the “root of the Chinese national music”. Quanzhou is the cradle of the Southern tone. It has become very popular, after it was enriched, matured and optimized by absorbing the strengths from Central China culture, Fujian culture and maritime culture. Embedded in Quanzhou, Southern tone has not only extended to Southern Fujian Province where Southern Fujian dialect is spoken, but also spread to the Southeast Asian countries, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. By passing from one generation to another, it has become increasingly popular as a “home tone” full of strong passion for the loving the hometown and the motherland. Many Chinese and foreign scholars have complimented Quanzhou southern tone as the “treasure in the Chinese classic music”.
