On 17 December 2024, our school was blessed to invite a group of musicians led by the veteran Cantonese opera performing artist, Professor Yuen Siu-fai, to introduce and demonstrate the characteristics of Lingnan music, with the theme “Lingnan Harmony: Guangdong Music, Cantonese, and Nanyin” organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD). The aim was to enhance students’ understanding of Chinese culture.
Nanyin or “southern tunes”, a narrative song art presented in the Cantonese vernacular, is an item of the first Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hong Kong. Nanyin is now essentially blended into Cantonese opera and Cantonese operatic songs as part of their singing elements. This activity combines elements of chanting, a music performance and interaction with the audience. Yuen chanted the nanyin piece, "The Fable of the Ungrateful Wolf", with soulful rhythms, accompanied by three Chinese instrumental performers, and introduced the rich history and unique traits of Lingnan music through the lens of traditional Chinese music appreciation. The Creative Director of the One Table Two Chairs Charitable Foundation, Ms Musette Tsang, employed a lively and interactive introduction to guide students through the nanyin and explore the close connection of Lingnan culture to contemporary life. With role plays and interactive question-and-answer sessions, our students were invited to exchange ideas with artists up close to understand Lingnan culture in a relaxed and light-hearted atmosphere.
