Guests from chinanews. com, November 16 (Reporter Yang Zhixiong) The "Guangxi Guizhong Folk Song Cultural Tourism Consortium" was inaugurated on the 16th. This tourism union is dominated by folk song culture, which is a measure for Guangxi to carry forward folk song culture and build a folk song brand.
The Zhuang nationality is the most populous minority in China, and is famous for its good songs and ability to sing. Guangxi, the hometown of Zhuang, is known as the "Sea of Songs". Folk song culture is a major feature of Guangxi's folk culture. Liu Sanjie, the Zhuang singer, is a well-known "business card of Guangxi" for Chinese people of all ages in China and the world.

In the central area of Guangxi, the custom of singing folk songs is concentrated and widely spread. Wen Daqin, deputy inspector of the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, introduced that the "Guangxi Guizhong Folk Song Cultural Tourism Consortium" was proposed by Xincheng County, Laibin City, Guangxi, and was composed of seven counties (cities and districts), namely Xincheng, Yizhou, Shanglin, Du'an, Mashan, Dahua and Heshan.
Li Zhaohui, the head of Xincheng County, said that in terms of transportation, seven counties (cities and districts) in central Guangxi have formed a two-hour traffic circle. They are neighbors in terms of location and blend with each other in terms of culture. The establishment of the Central Guangxi Folk Song Cultural Tourism Alliance centered on Xincheng and Yizhou is conducive to improving the overall image of regional tourism, forming new high-quality tourism routes, and promoting the in-depth development of the tourism market in mountainous areas.

On the same day, folk singers from seven counties (cities and districts) in central Guangxi wore national costumes and presented a folk song feast for tourists with loud voice and distinctive singing style.
In recent years, Guangxi has taken many measures to build a folk song featured cultural brand. Since 2014, the Guangxi government has set "March 3 of Zhuang Nationality" as a public holiday. Guangxi takes advantage of this traditional national festival to hold large-scale national culture carnival activities, which are full of "sea" songs everywhere. (End)
