Cantonese praise, also known as Yue Chen, has been popular in cantonese areas for nearly three hundred years, collectively known as song and ballad style. Cantonese music is well organized, with one verse every four sentences, and people often use the lute yangqin to accompany or sing songs. In 1828, Zhao Ziyong compiled the book "Cantonese Praise", which was the earliest systematic preservation and collection of Books on Cantonese folk music and art. The spread of Cantonese has spread overseas with cantonese, and it still retains cultural influence in many places at home and abroad. After years of conservation, the project has been valued by non-genetic personnel and institutions. This time it was identified as a representative project of municipal non-genetic inheritance, and the relevant rescue protection work will also be launched.
In the list of selected items released this time, 7 expanded intangible cultural heritage projects have also attracted much attention, and some intangible cultural heritage projects with diverse styles and different techniques have emerged, such as the "Guangdong Awakening Lion" declared by Haizhu District and Huadu District.

Adhering to the stylistic characteristics of Lingnan martial arts culture, it integrates the martial arts, dance, techniques and music of the Southern School, and awakens the lion with strong, courageous and powerful movements, as well as dexterity, agility and stability.
The Guangdong lion awakening performance in Huadu is divided into three categories: wen lion, martial lion and lion cub. Wen Lion performs meekly and kindly, Wu Lion shows bravery and fierceness, and Leo Is a young lion, who is cute and cute, and performs with Wen and Wu Lion. Skills include going out of the cave, going up the mountain, patrolling the mountain to meet the lion, picking green, entering the cave, etc., and waking the lion is an indispensable traditional mascot for every local festival or major event.
