Su Haizhen, head of a museum of the Jing ethnic group and an inheritor of the art of the single-stringed instrument of the Jing ethnic group, directs her students during their practice, 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/Fei Maohua)
