“Ribbon Dance” is the name of this photo which was taken yesterday. This young lady performed the dance to perfection and the following contains a little history of the dance.
This is a classical Chinese dance dates back to the Tang dynasty in the early eighth century. It has been attributed to Emperor Tang-Ming-Hwon and his consort Yang-Gwei- Fei for their musical and dancing talent respectively.
The Chinese legend has it that Emporor Tang- Ming-Hwon, who reigned from 713-755, once dreamed that he was in the moon palace with many fairies singing and dancing in multicolored cloud-like long robes. The dance with the flowing silk ribbons and accompanied by Chinese instruments- Erhu and Pipa is characterized by its refreshing and poetic mood |
