Abantu baseCanton sisabelo seengonyama apha, kwaye inkcubeko yaseCanton ikumgangatho nayo. Ngapha koko, kungenxa yoku inani elikhulu leembono zamaTshayina, umzekelo, 'ukuthobeka,' 'ukufihla nakuphi na ukungaphumeleli,' 'ubukrelekrele bosapho,' kunye 'nobumbano losapho' ukuhambisa ifuthe eliqinisekileyo kwiShishini laseHong Kong Inkcubeko.
