Ya Yue Dance practice at Taipei Confucius Temple

Revitalizing Confucianism -- A Journey through the Confucius Temple. Display, Presentation, and Experience - Ancient Sacrificial Rites to Confucius.

Ceremonial States --Ya Yue dance
The Ya Yue Dance is an ancient Chinese dance performed mainly during ceremonies and it is the main school and model of Chinese ceremonial dance. All movements of this dance carry and communicate specific ideas and meanings thus expressing solemnity, peace, grace and elegance. The Ya Yue Dance is usually reserved for sacrificial rites and worship of the universe and ancestors, but is also performed on important secular occasions, such as court celebrations, upon the triumphal return of a general, and sometimes even to honor the training of solders and the hunt.

Yi Dance is a procession of music and dance in memory of the spirit of our Great Sage, which takes place on Confucius's birthday (28th of September) every year. On this day, the Confucius Temples around the world will perform the Yi Dance during the sacrificial rites. Here, at this event, we present the choreographed "Ya Yue Dance." The first session follows the traditional Yi Dance for sacrificial rites, and the second and the third sessions are choreographed Yi Dance.
