Organized by the Science and Technology Department of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the Chinese Culture Post International Salon on Folk Song Appreciation was held on June 11 in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, attracting around 20 foreign experts working in the region.

Ethnic groups living in Guangxi have their own distinctive folk songs. Li Lin, associate professor of Guangxi Arts University, said that the soul of ethnic music lies in its deeper meaning, rather than the melody and singing, and the people of Guangxi are proud of their traditional music.

Nancy Eldars from the United Kingdom, currently working at the Harrow Innovation Leadership Academy in Nanning, said it was her first time to participate in the cultural experience activity held by the Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs, adding that the excellent event allowed her to experience the region's authentic folk songs.

Since 2017, the Science and Technology Department of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has run a campaign to encourage foreign experts working in Guangxi to learn more about the region, by holding activities such as cultural events and policy promotion.
