Brief introduction of Korean traditional dance

This kind of court dance takes poetry as a prelude and sequel, with symbolic props, gorgeous costumes and special music. For example, there are 32 girls dancing in the boat, 6 people rowing and 2 children sitting on the boat. After anchoring, the boat turned around and four dancers pulled the rope. As many as 200 actors were grouped in a highly stylized style to participate in his spectacular royal entertainment in the spring. Some dances can be traced back to the reign of Kang Wang in Silla Kingdom (876-886), such as Churong Dance or Dragon Dance in Donghai, which shows the cultural exchange activities between China and Tang Dynasty in music and dance.

The court of the Tang Dynasty cherished Korean art very much. There are three kinds of Koguryo dances in the classical reserved programs, two of which are famous for being praised by poets. Li Bai once wrote (in a poem entitled "Koguryo"): the golden flower folds the hood, and the white horse returns late. Wide-sleeved dance, like a bird from the East China Sea. When this dance was performed in China, the songs of Li Bai's poems echoed in the air with the dance.
