As the
excellent works of China National Opera & Dance Drama Theater, dances in
the drama were wonderful and full of surprises. Existing "Zhiyu
dance", elegant "Xunxiang dance", classic "Plucking Wei
dance", graceful "Yuren dance" caught the audiences' eyes and
moved their heart. Today when Confucius and Confucianism revive in China and
the World, the dance drama Confucius
came out amazingly and its debut in Australia undoubtedly has profound and rich
historical significance.
