What are the characteristics of the most famous healthy dance in Tang Dynasty?

Hu Xuan Dance is a famous healthy dance in Tang Dynasty, which was originally a folk dance in Central Asia. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that "Hu Xuan's daughter left her comfort zone (now Samarkand, Central Asia)". Nine songs and ten songs in Sui and Tang Dynasties all contain healthy parts, which are called when they turn sharply like the wind. Dance accompaniment is mainly drums. Dance is characterized by rapid and continuous multi-turn rotation. The Tang poetry describes this beautiful dance's rotating posture as snow falling back, grass flying around, angular whirlwind and running on wheels. Jumping on the strings and drums, thousands of turns. The rapid rotation and dancing make it difficult for the audience to distinguish their backs from their faces.

The Tang Dynasty mural "Letian Dance Map" in Cave 220 in Dunhuang and the stone carving dancers unearthed from the Tang Tomb in Yanchi, Ningxia, all reflect the charm of Hu Xuan dance in the Tang Dynasty to some extent.

Hu Xuanwu was popular in the Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi's poem "Hu Xuannv" said: "Tianbao four seasons change, and all servants learn to turn around." It can be seen that Hu Xuan dance was really all the rage in the Tang Dynasty. Today, in the folk dances in Central Asia and Xinjiang, when the dance reaches its climax, the dancers often keep spinning at a fast pace to express their inner joy and passion.
