Every Lantern Festival, overseas Chinese of south Fujian origin come back to their homeland to visit

Chinese Ethnic Group (South Fujian) Cultural Festival and the Second Cultural Festival of Silk Road on

the Sea, held in Quanzhou from Feb 14 to 17, 2003.

When Ancient Movements Cast a Timeless Spell PAO KZ

The company was founded in 1983 by Chen Mei-O to perform Nanguan, an ancient form of music that

originated in Fujian Province in China and was taken to Taiwan around 1661. Nanguan falls into two

categories, the first a form of chamber music and the second a movement style derived from regional

opera in which the singers' moves are influenced by string puppetry. Today, Nanguan, also known as

Pear Orchard music and dance, is an integral part of Taiwan's culture.



''Yangexing'' served to introduce the dance style, performed here by women whose curved bodies

tilted slowly to the sides or quarter-pivoted flirtatiously, hands fluting back to assume shapes that

suggested the mudras of Indian dance. Hidden under the simple, beautifully colored robes, which gave

the ''Yangexing'' women the look of Raphael madonnas, feet carried gliding bodies about the stage in

quick, small steps that called to mind mechanical dolls.
