Sea Shanty

The term sea shanty refers to a type of folk song popular among the fishermen of Zhoushan Islands. These marine folk songs have been passed down through generations of fishermen and sailors on the islands and are closely tied to fishing boats, transport ships, and the labor of fishermen and sailors on both land and sea. These songs are representative of laborer songs in Zhejiang and across all of China.

Zhoushan Music

Zhoushan music is composed of gongs, drums, cymbals, and suona as a foundation for traditional stringed and woodwind instruments. With majestic volume and bold melodies, these songs create a very lively atmosphere steeped in island culture. After the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, these folk songs gradually evolved into stage performances. Classic tunes include “The Fishermen's Triumphant Song”, “East Sea Fishing Song”, and “Joyous Fishermen”.
