dance after careful investigation and study, and presented the art in a new form
to viewers through the costumes, music, dance, and integration with modern stage
techniques." Economist Cheng Xiaoneng pointed out, "People from mainland China are
influenced by the CCP's party culture. Many Chinese people still remember the
