ABSTRACT

In the past three centuries, it has experienced great changes. First of all, it is widely mixed with Europe, especially with the Spanish. There are more than 7,000 islands, large and small, which are like little pearls scattered on the ocean. This Southeast Asian country with a population of more than 80 million has more than 70 languages such as English, Tagalog and Spanish. Therefore, just like the function in China, the early Nanyin organizations tended to use associations as a means to unite their compatriots and maintain emotional ties, and only after modern times did they gradually transform into the social significance of inheriting and carrying forward Chinese culture.Due to historical, geographical, ethnic, and religious reasons, it can be said that the Philippines is the inheritor and combination of Malay, Spanish, and Muslim cultures, and its music culture has also presented a very unique aspect. According to existing historical records, as early as 1820, Manila, the Philippines, had two major southern music clubs active - the Philippine Golden Orchid Lang Junshe and the Philippine Long and Lang Junshe. Since then, the southern music club has continued to develop in the Philippines, with a total of 20 or 30 clubs active in the Philippines for many times, as well as the Internet, film and television and other modern media, effectively promoting and expanding the spread and influence of Chinese contemporary music in the Philippines.
