From a contemporary perspective, The Flowing Dance From Tang Poetry guides the audience into the poems written in Tang Dynasty, leads them to perceive the immensity and mystery of the line of verse "Who, by the river, catches the first glance of the moon? Will the moon above the river, by any chance, shine on us soon?" and to sense the profound affection of "there is an end to any love story, while this regret will last beyond history", and holds a dialogue with tradition by using the modern elements of classical dancing.
