The spatial and temporal concepts of our people's movement are y rooted in the concepts of "going backward as going forward", "starting point as the end point", "using nothing as something", and "constructing a sphere with arcs". In "Tap Song", the dancer's body is bent forward and backward to match the yin and yang, and the footsteps are virtual and real, wanting to be left first and right first, wanting to be raised first, wanting to enter and choose to retreat, and the rules of the dance are consistent with the Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu, "Repeating the Way".

The movement of the universe does not need to look for external power, but rather, it is driven by its own internal "counter" and "repetition". Secondly, the dance form of "Tap Song" has the human aesthetic of "forgetting one's own form". As stated in the book "Dance Morphology", "Dance is not simply a 'movement' form, but also an 'aesthetic' form, and this movement aesthetic is based on the aesthetics of the human body on the one hand, and the aesthetics of transforming the human body on the other. aesthetic of the human body."
