Xinzheng celebrates Yellow Emperor with worship ceremony

Chen Linchun, chief director of the ceremony, explained that the costume design drew inspiration from styles spanning the Western Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-771 BC) to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods (770-221 BC).

"The dance movements are primarily inspired by prototypes found in archaeological sites across Henan, such as stone carvings and reliefs, rooted in the region's historical and traditional culture," Chen added.
