By Minghui/Clearwisdom correspondent Tang Ling

(Clearwisdom.net) Divine Performing Arts (DPA) was on stage at National Chung Cheng University on March 20, 2008. It was the last show of the Chinese Spectacular in Taiwan. Many educators were there to watch the show. The president of Chung Cheng University, Mr. Wu Jyh-Yang, said he was greatly moved by the elegant and superb performance, and feels that it should definitely be promoted.

Mr. Wu said a show like this was rarely seen in Taiwan. The traditional dances covered all ages and were very characteristic of Chinese culture. He felt that the pieces performed in the later half of the show were very heart-shaking, especially, "Victory Drums." Mr. Wu was very impressed with the song "Rest Knowing." He praised the singer's voice as vigorous and heart-shaking.

Mr. Wu said the Spectacular was very exquisite, including the artists' body language, costumes and the modern-technology background.

He said that traditional values in society had been diluted, and traditional culture has been ignored. The teaching of values is lacking in elementary schools, middle schools and universities. A traditional dance like "The Loyalty of Yue Fei" showed patriotism and had very a positive, educational influence.

Mr. Wu said that he felt great and very refreshed after watching the show. "I haven't seen a show like this for many years. I had lost this part. Now the lost culture is found. I think recommending this show would be very worthwhile."
