The women's group dance "Bayu Lingnu Song", which was approved for the 2015 National Arts Fund project, kicked off the "Museum Wonderful Night".
The dance form of "Bayu Lingnu Song" is based on the Han Dynasty portrait bricks and Han Dynasty terracotta figurines in the collection of the China Three Gorges Museum in Chongqing, from which the dance movement elements such as waist bending and three-stage twisting, as well as the dance hand shape, are extracted to depict the dance style, posture, movement form and dynamic rhythm with Bayu characteristics. With the unique Bayu dance language, it shows the vivid scene of Bayu music and dancing girls on the stone wall, dancing in the sound of strings. The dance was created and choreographed by Chongqing Art School, which reflects the cultural characteristics of the ancestors of Bayu and has won a number of national art awards.
