Traditional Dance

Yangge, dragon & lion dance, guozhuang, peacock dance — the body's folk language

Traditional dance ICH spans Han yangge, dragon and lion dance, plus Tibetan guozhuang and reba, the Dai peacock dance, Mongolian andai, Yi yanhe and Miao lusheng dances. Rooted in farming, ritual and festival, they match the body to season and community. The Dai peacock dance and Tibetan guozhuang anchor minority regions, while yangge and lion dance live on in Han villages and city temple fairs — the most joinable ICH for visitors.
