A visitor learns characters of the Jing ethnic group at a museum of the Jing ethnic group in Dongxing, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Aug. 13, 2023. The Jing is the only maritime ethnic group in China, most of its members living on the three islands off the coast of Dongxing in Guangxi. The single-stringed instrument, or "duxianqin" in transliteration, is unique to the Jing culture, capable of presenting exquisite melodies with the only string it has. The art of duxianqin was formally recognized by the Chinese national government as a piece of intangible cultural heritage in 2011. (Xinhua/Zhang Ailin)
