According to CHIO, it has a lot of freedom in intoning’s expression and does not have to stick to a unified melody, in which case, people are able to have better understand the meaning of ancient poetry. And it’s also the biggest reason why she likes intoning. But at the same time, group intoning performance is different from individual performance. It must be delivered in unison to reflect the spirit and verve of the team. Some of the students who participated in this competition just got acquainted with intoning during the training. They were very surprised and became interested in intoning when they learned that ancient poems and even their own names could be sung by it. Although they were a little shy to intone at the beginning of learning, they gradually overcame the psychological barrier through the CHIO’s continuous encouragement, resulting in a quite successful performance.

To sum up, the competition promotes communication and understanding between the young people of the Greater Bay Area, which is helpful for them to jointly inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture and eulogizes the history and future of the motherland.
