The dance drama premiered in Beijing in June 2021, and toured China, delivering more than 30 performances in just over a year. Apart from the national tour, several seminars centered on the production were hosted, where experts gave their opinions and suggestions, based on which the team continued to modify the production.

Wang Yichuan, vice-chairman of China Literature and Art Critics Association, said at a seminar that the dance drama is marked by its integration of performing arts and archaeology, using dance to envision the stories behind cultural relics.

"This production can provide valuable inspiration for artistic creation. China has many historical artifacts, just like this brocade piece, waiting to exercise the imagination of artists of different genres, and to inject life into these treasures in a contemporary context," Wang Yichuan says.
