Fujian Nanyin, also known as Nanqu, Nanyue, Nanguan and Xianguan, is known as the "living fossil" of music culture, and it is a rich and complete kind of music that preserves ancient Chinese music, and is known as "8 pieces of string songs and 5, pieces of pearls and jade".

in the Tang dynasty, the pipa was generally used with a plectrum, and it was held horizontally. Fujian Nanyin has maintained this legacy to this day. The "clappers" used in Nanyin and their playing methods are the same as those in Dunhuang murals. Nanqu is mainly popular in Quanzhou, Jinjiang, Longxi and Xiamen, and it is also popular in Taiwan Province and the places where overseas Chinese live in Nanyang Islands.

The Gong-chi harmony used in Nanqu is different from others, and it is a unique musical form, with "X (the vulgar writing of ruler), Gong, Liu, Tu and-". These five words stand for "palace, business, horn, sign and feather" in turn. Adopt a fixed roll-call method.

Nanqu music includes "Zhi, Score and Qu":

1. "Zhi" is a Daqu with words and scores and indicating the fingering of pipa.

2. "Score" is an instrumental music score with pipa fingering without words. The original thirteen sets were increased to sixteen sets; There are sixteen sets of "scores" in Nanqu, among which four sets are the most famous

3. Qu is Sanqu (also known as Caoqu), which occupies a large proportion in Nanqu music.
