On Oct 10 in Yichang, Hubei province, performers showcased the folk dance Yiling Dihuagu ("flower-drum" dance) — a century-old local art form once performed during festive lantern parades. With “ancient tunes in new styles”, dancers blended traditional rhythms and modern choreography, giving this vibrant heritage a youthful glow. As a provincial intangible cultural heritage, Yiling Dihuagu continues to flourish through training bases and devoted inheritors.
