Fujian Nanyin, an ancient music tradition, finds new life through TikTok. Young musicians in China now use the popular app to share this important cultural art. Their videos attract many viewers worldwide. This online activity helps protect Nanyin for the future. Nanyin music is very old. People call it a “living fossil” of Chinese music. It started over one thousand years ago in southeast China’s Fujian province. UNESCO recognized it as important world culture in 2009. Performers use special instruments. These include the pipa lute, vertical flutes, and clappers. The singing uses the ancient Minnan dialect. The music sounds slow and serious. It often tells old stories. But fewer young people learned Nanyin recently. It risked fading away. Traditional performances happened in quiet temples or community halls. Reaching a modern audience was hard. Costs for training and staging shows were high. Fewer masters could teach the complex skills. TikTok changed this situation. Young Nanyin artists started posting short videos. They show their practice sessions. They explain the instruments. They perform famous Nanyin pieces. They sometimes mix Nanyin sounds with modern beats. This makes the ancient music feel fresh and catchy. Videos tagged #FujianNanyin have millions of views. Young people comment they never knew this music existed before. They say it sounds beautiful. One group in Quanzhou city gained over 500,000 followers quickly. Their videos show daily practice. They explain the lyrics. They talk about Nanyin’s history. Another musician became famous for playing Nanyin on the pipa. Her videos get shared widely. She teaches online classes now.
