Article

It is debatable where this article whould leave off and related articles such as Music of Fujian, Music of southern China should begin - for example in the relations of nanguan, beijan and the song-clubs. As far as I am aware, the article I have inserted here, which is derived wholly from academic sources includes all the information that is directly relevant to the genre. No text has been lost from the pages overall and the improvements to these articles are not yet complete. Please make any suggestions at this page or do the edits yourself.

As far as I know, all verifiable relevant material in the duplicate article below is now available on the page.

Nanguan (南管; pinyin: nánguǎn; literally "southern pipe"; also called nanyin (南音), nanyue (南樂), or nanqu (南曲)) is a traditional musical genre originating in the Fujian (福建) province of China. It has ancient roots believed to trace back to the Tang Dynasty. It is most popular in Fujian and in Taiwan, and there are also two nanguan associations in Singapore.[1].there are also several nanguan associations in the Philippines before, but only a couple are still active today, "Tiong-Ho Long-Kun-sia" is one of them.

In addition to voice, the instruments used include a wooden clapper (muban 木板), pipa (琵琶) (4-string pear-shaped lute), sanxian (三線) (3-string snakeskin banjo), xiao (簫) (vertical flute), and erxian (二線) (2-string fiddle). The instruments used are not the standard modern Chinese versions, but instead traditional versions specifically made for nanguan music.

Gang-a-tsui is an example of a nanguan ensemble.

Please try to make it clear when removing material from an article what is being removed and why, preferably at "Discussion." Earlier, material was removed, then only restored when the removing editor was asked to do so. Let's not continue editing in that manner, and certainly not insistently and repeatedly remove such a huge amount of text as at Chaozhou xianshi prior to the use of discussion and fact tags.
