APEC China 2026 media kit features scarf inspired by Yingge Dance
From November 18 to 19, the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting will be held in Shenzhen. Inspired by Yingge Dance, a scarf from Jieyang, Guangdong, is featured in the APEC China 2026 media kit, which is provided to journalists covering the Meeting. This scarf weaves together the scenery of Jieyang Ancient City and the iconic images of Puning Yingge Dance, a national intangible cultural heritage item. It not only brings Yingge Dance and the charm of Jieyang Ancient City to the attention of more journalists through the Meeting, but also reflects the manufacturing strength and supporting industry capabilities of Jieyang’s textile and apparel industry.
This scarf hails from Puning, a county-level city in Jieyang, Guangdong, and one of the important birthplaces of Chaoshan culture. The pattern on the scarf blends the scenery of Jieyang Ancient City and the iconic images of Puning Yingge Dance, a national intangible cultural heritage. The dance draws mainly from a classic Chinese novel “The Water Margin”, conveying the values of honoring heroes and upholding justice. With a history of over 300 years, the Yingge Dance, hailed as “the Chinese Warrior Dance”, has been performed in the United Kingdom, Thailand, the United States, Russia, Spain and other countries. Bringing together the two signature elements, Jieyang Ancient City and Yingge Dance, the scarf is not just a practical accessory but a window for showcasing the intangible cultural heritage and Jieyang culture to the world.
The appearance of the scarf in the APEC media kit has turned eyes toward the industry that produced it. The scarf comes from Puning City, China’s textile industrial bases. It opens a new window for promoting Lingnan intangible cultural heritage and Jieyang culture, as well as reflects the progress Jieyang has made in building itself into a harmonious, livable city with strong industries.
英歌舞亮相APEC媒體包！一方絲巾窺見揭陽產業雄心
11月18日至19日，亞太經合組織第三十三次領導人非正式會議（APEC）將在深圳舉行。來自廣東揭陽的非遺英歌絲巾亮相此次提供給媒體記者的APEC媒體包。一方絲巾，將揭陽古城風貌與國家級非遺普寧英歌的經典形象織入其中，讓英歌舞與揭陽古城底蘊藉助國際會議窗口進入更多媒體記者視野，也折射出揭陽紡織服裝產業的製造實力與產業配套能力。
這方絲巾來自廣東揭陽普寧——潮汕文化的重要發祥地之一。絲巾圖案融合揭陽古城風貌與國家級非物質文化遺產“英歌（普寧英歌）”的經典形象。普寧英歌表演內容主要取材於中國古典名著《水滸傳》，寓意崇尚英雄、弘揚正義，流傳至今已有三百餘年曆史，曾赴英國、泰國、美國、俄羅斯、西班牙等地展演，被譽爲“中華戰舞”。將古城古韻與英歌雄風濃縮於方寸之間，這方絲巾既是實用配飾，也是傳播非遺風采、對外展示揭陽文化的窗口。
絲巾亮相APEC媒體包，也讓外界目光順着這方紡織品，看向其背後的產業版圖。非遺英歌絲巾來自中國紡織產業基地市揭陽普寧。這方絲巾爲傳播嶺南非遺風采、展示揭陽文化打開新窗口，也爲揭陽建設產業強市、和美揭陽增添了生動註腳。
