A somewhat stylized ballet of ancient Chinese history. Interesting mentions of the South Pointing Chariot and the Chinese zodiac. Check out their ponytailed Huang Di ... cool!

Interesting to see Westerners playing in a ballad of chinese historical theme.

It's a fusion of modern western ballad with chinese culture.

One should seek serenity to cultivate the body, thriftiness to cultivate the morals. If you are not simple and frugal, your ambition will not sparkle. If you are not calm and cool, you will not reach far. - Zhugeliang

Perfect combination of Chinese and Western cultures. The charm of art is that it can impress infected with different times, people from different countries.
