The inspiration for the dances comes from nature, Chinese classical literature and history, and folk legend. The original choreography is drawn from the styles of Chinese classical, folk, ballet and modern dance. Chinese traditional music is characterized by rich tonality and emotion, and is connected to language and poetry. Each dance is complemented by a short film depicting the cultural and artistic background of the dance, and information about Chinese traditional and ethnic culture.
