"Jaein Shear Peony":

Adapted from the Chinese Song Dynasty's "Jaein Shear Peony Parade Dance," this is a type of hyangraku dance, which was created by the Seja (son) and performed by a team of female disciples, and was often danced at banquets in the royal court. The dancers wear red-colored clothes and golden phoenix crowns and cut peony flowers. In the center of the dance floor, a wooden pedestal is placed with a vase of peony flowers. The dancers come on the stage in six places and stand around the bottle, each taking a branch of peony flower from the bottle and dancing in a circle, dancing and singing.

The lyrics of the song are: "Ten thousand peonies bloomed first in the hall, Yao Huang Wei Zi was jealous of Linglong. The new flute Qingpingle, a different kind of fairy fragrance, is a butterfly wind." The peonies in the hands of the dancers are sometimes scattered like a rain of flowers in the sky, and sometimes gathered in the center, echoing the peonies in the vase, revealing the gorgeous spring breath.
