¡¡¡¡ Chinese folk dance is a rich and colourful performing art with a long history. There are a great number of vivid dancing figures on stone carvings, frescoes, paintings and other historical relics which were created some thousand years ago. The first Chinese poetry collection 'The Book of Songs' recorded the grand occasion of singing and dancing of young people living in the Central Plains. Court orchestras of successive dynasties often performed dancing programmes of different national minorities and many celebrated singers and dancers appeared. Among the people, folk dance is even more popular, rich and colourful with various styles and forms, some of them reflecting work, love, customs or wars and some depicting natural scenes, flowers and birds. In form, dancing and singing are combined. It is thus very effective and expresses the people's feeling thoroughly. China has a vast territory inhabited by many nationalities, each of them very good at dancing and singing. Because of different living environments and customs, folk dances of different nationalities and regions vary greatly. They are loved by the people. After the founding of the People's Republic of China , the Chinese government has been carrying out the policy of 'making the past serve the present and foreign things serve China', of 'letting a hundred flowers blossom' and 'weed through the old to bring forth the new'. The government has helped to greatly develop Chinese folk dance by building numerous professional and amateur dance troupes which have been exploring, arranging and creating a great number of programmes and at the same time, through cultural exchange, have been drawing experience from abroad.
