It is a cultural  phenomenon derived from the mainstream culture of tea production and  drinking.<\/p>\n<p>There are two major types of tea dance, namely, the tea-picking dance  and tea lantern dance. Tea dance is very common in the provinces  including Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Fujian, Hunan, Hubei,  Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan, and is a major activity for celebrating the  Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival among people. Many operas in  China are named after tea, such as the Jiangxi Tea-picking Opera, Hubei  Tea-picking Opera, Guangxi Tea Lantern Opera and Yunnan Tea Lantern  Opera, which were gradually developed on the basis of tea songs, dances  and music created by people living in tea-growing regions.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the tray dance and dage (literally, beat songs, a folk  entertainment featuring song and dance) pre<em><\/em>valent in some ethnic groups  of China also feature the co<em><\/em>ntents of serving and drinking tea, which  can be deemed as a kind of tea dance from a certain angle. For example,  when the Yi minority performs their folk dance after the guests are  seated, all people, young and old in the village or family hosting the  folk dance, will send a tea tray or wine tray to their guests in a  respectfully dancing manner to the music of gong and Suona and then  withdraw. <br \/>  &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-472314083\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tea dance is a dancing art featuring the subjects and  contents of tea production and tea drinking.
