Ritual Dances of China

Ritual dances of China refer to the ceremonial dance traditions performed as part of religious rites, ancestor worship, imperial court ceremonies, and seasonal festivals throughout Chinese history. Examples include the Confucian ritual dances (yi wu) performed at temple ceremonies honoring Confucius, as well as dances tied to Daoist rites, harvest festivals, and dragon or lion dances at Lunar New Year celebrations. These dances typically follow prescribed choreography and music intended to maintain cosmic or social order rather than serve purely as entertainment.
