Abstract

From the 1930s to the present day, modern dance has had a profound impact on the construction of Chinese contemporary dance in different historical periods. Since the beginning of the new dance art initiated by Wu Xiaobang, the innovation and creative spirit of modern dance has enabled Chinese contemporary dance to continuously move towards a developmental orientation of the times, the nation, and the masses, and ultimately to become unique.
