Cultural Studies and Heritage Education of Nanyin Performance Art in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, China

Nanyin, a traditional Chinese music genre from Fujian Province, demonstrates enduring popularity and cultural significance through its diverse performance forms. This study traces Nanyin's development across ancient origins, fusion with varied musical influences, professionalization, and contemporary revitalization in Quanzhou. Employing an interdisciplinary approach—combining musicology, ethnomusicology, historical musicology, and organology—the research uses key informant interviews, observations, and systematic data analysis to explore Nanyin's artistic versatility, including duet, chorus, enchant, rotating, and group singing styles. Findings highlight its role in preserving China’s traditional culture while aligning with theoretical principles in musicology.
