| The ethnic Dong people’s tradition of passing on culture and knowledge through music is exemplified by their Grand Song. It was included in UNESCO’S list of intangible cultural heritages in 2009, but its continued existence is far from secure.(CNTV) |
Pan Yuxin has been teaching the Grand Song in her spare time for more than 40 years. She says young people singing in the village can only earn about 500 Yuan per month. She is worried that more and more young people are going outside the village to earn money.
"I am really worried that they cannot sing the Grand Song any more. When they come back, I always ask them to learn singing."
The Grand Song has been listed in the local school’s curriculum and there is a teacher there to teach pupils. But she earns only about 1000 Yuan per month.
