Nanyin, literally means music in the south, is an ancient Chinese folk music art form originated from East China's Fujian Province.
Nanyin was spread to Southeast Asia and also introduced to Europe and America by thousands of overseas Chinese, when the Maritime Silk Road flourished during ancient China's Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1271-1368) dynasties.
In 2006, Nanyin was enlisted as a National Non-material Cultural Heritage. In 2009, it was listed as a World Human Verbal and Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.
China has launched a new pilot program to allow eligible enterprises greater access to overseas financing in support of green and low-carbon transformation projects, the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Aug 21.
