The origin of China dance,

The germination and formation time of China dance can be traced back to the flood period of human development, far exceeding human memory. China classical dance, as a kind of dance art in China, is also called "the mother of China opera".

In the Han Dynasty, court artists were dismissed and exiled to the people, and combined with acrobatics such as "Jiao Opera", which was called "Hundred Operas" at this time. It was not until the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC) that they were re-wilded, toured, excavated, developed and restored. Some scholars in Taiwan Province Province even call it "New China Classical Dance".

From its origin, classical dance is a revival of the traditions of classical dance, traditional opera dance and China dance for thousands of years. Obviously, its aesthetic principle is not a new invention, but the spread and continuation of China culture for thousands of years, strung together with a long line from ancient times to the present. These principles can be seen not only in opera.

Its clue and cultural characteristics can be seen in the music and dance of Tang and Song Dynasties, in the "dance drama" of Han and Wei Dynasties, and even in the rites and music of Shang and Zhou Dynasties. As far as its flow is concerned, it is a brand-new art category generated from primitive organisms, which can be comparable to ballet and modern dance. This derivative dance is authentic from China.
