Lingnan music

Lingnan music is a traditional Chinese musical style originating from the Lingnan region, which includes parts of southern China like Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan. It reflects the local cultural influences, blending the musical elements of Cantonese opera, folk songs, and regional instruments such as the Yangqin (hammered dulcimer) and Chinese wind instruments. The music is known for its lively melodies, expressive storytelling, and rhythms that evoke the natural landscapes and daily life of the region. Lingnan music plays a vital role in preserving local customs and is often performed during festivals, celebrations, and cultural events.
