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媒体包！一方丝巾窥见揭阳产业雄心
11月18日至19日，亚太经合组织第三十三次领导人非正式会议（APEC）将在深圳举行。来自广东揭阳的非遗英歌丝巾亮相此次提供给媒体记者的APEC媒体包。一方丝巾，将揭阳古城风貌与国家级非遗普宁英歌的经典形象织入其中，让英歌舞与揭阳古城底蕴借助国际会议窗口进入更多媒体记者视野，也折射出揭阳纺织服装产业的制造实力与产业配套能力。
这方丝巾来自广东揭阳普宁——潮汕文化的重要发祥地之一。丝巾图案融合揭阳古城风貌与国家级非物质文化遗产“英歌（普宁英歌）”的经典形象。普宁英歌表演内容主要取材于中国古典名著《水浒传》，寓意崇尚英雄、弘扬正义，流传至今已有三百余年历史，曾赴英国、泰国、美国、俄罗斯、西班牙等地展演，被誉为“中华战舞”。将古城古韵与英歌雄风浓缩于方寸之间，这方丝巾既是实用配饰，也是传播非遗风采、对外展示揭阳文化的窗口。
丝巾亮相APEC媒体包，也让外界目光顺着这方纺织品，看向其背后的产业版图。非遗英歌丝巾来自中国纺织产业基地市揭阳普宁。这方丝巾为传播岭南非遗风采、展示揭阳文化打开新窗口，也为揭阳建设产业强市、和美揭阳增添了生动注脚。
