  As far as dance is concerned, dancers speak directly to people's hearts. This is an advantage of the dance art form. How to use this advantage to express culture is a difficulty.

For the inheritance and creation of classical dance, adjacent arts such as painting and sculpture provide us with a lot of research directions and references.
