In China, there are two concepts of folk dance, broad and narrow, the broad sense of folk dance, refers to the dance of the Chinese nation as a whole: the narrow sense of folk dance, refers to the dance of each of the 56 ethnic groups in our country unique. Here, the narrow sense of folk dance is the specific content of the broad sense of folk dance: the broad sense of folk dance and covers all aspects of the narrow sense of folk dance.
