Abstract
The article is devoted to the controversial situation around the Vietnamese monochord đàn bầu (duxianqin), which is common in the PRC among the Jing people. The proclamation of đàn bầu as an intangible cultural heritage in the PRC and its’ representation as an element of China’s multiethnic culture are causing tension in Vietnam. In 2019 Vi-etnam submitted a dossier to UNESCO to include the đàn bầu in the List of Masterpieces of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and this step was made because of concerns that China might “appropriate” Vietnamese cultural heritage.
