Singing Instead of Speaking

Guangxi has long been called “the sea of songs”, and Nanning, the harbor. The Zhuang Ethnic Group is a minority which is particularly good at singing and dancing. They all love folk songs and are keen on singing. When they are working in the fields or on the mountains, they enjoy singing to each other for fun and entertainment. The Zhuang folk songs are full of life, and the singers always prefer to express their ideas and emotions by songs, instead of words. Almost all lager events, including narrating and recounting, celebrating and blessing, making friends as well as selecting mates and getting married, etc. are accompanied by singing. This lifestyle has been described as “singing instead of speaking”. With this tradition in mind, the main purpose of Nanning International Folk Song Festival is to stage a celebration of folk song that can be enjoyed by to the whole country and the rest of the world.
