Chinese dance dates back at least four thousand years even before the arrival of the written language. Depictions of dancing on unearthed Chinese artifacts, such as vessels, murals, and paintings, testify to its rich history. As a performing art form, Chinese dance is an expression of life, a way of social communication, an essential element of religious rituals, and a form of entertainment.<br /><br />In Chinese Dance, a book that has received the Chinese Fund for the Humanitiesand Social Sciences, Professor Yuan presents a historical account of dance in Chinasince the prehistoric ages by examining the prevailing dances of each dynasty, anddiscusses the correlation between dance and other art forms. She also analyzes theaesthetic characteristics of various types of Chinese dance to unveil the essence ofChinese culture.
