The circle dance in Crete, like the folk dances in other parts of the world, is the inheritance of the most primitive dance of mankind-circle dance. Dance still has primitive enthusiasm and simple style, but the difference is that the circle dance in Crete obtains a kind of spiritual strength through dance, and then achieves the purpose of dialogue with God, so as to stabilize the social relationship between people. Ring dance is also the ring dance in primitive times, and people can embody a spirit of collectivism by dancing ring dance. "The statue of Crete shows us the ring dance around the lyre player, the duet related to religious etiquette and the slightly swaying dance performed by a group of women in front of a large audience." This form of "ring dance" spread to Greece. This fairy tale, which originated in Greece, describes how the "ring dance" in Crete was introduced to Greece: "In theseus's story, there is a record that when he led the young men and women he rescued back to Athens from Crete, they danced a ring dance with crane steps on Telo Island, which was later kept on this island for a long time."
Kurt Sachs, a world dance historian, also believes that the "ring dance" in Crete seems to be related to China. He said that in ancient China, the living were often used as the crystal for the king's burial. In 500 BC, the daughter of He Lv, the king of Wu, died. The king of Wu built a grave for her daughter. At the funeral, the king of Wu ordered a white crane dance, and the young men and women walked into the grave with the dance and then closed the door. Mr. Kurt believes that China Crane Dance and Greek Dance are both ring dances, including religious thoughts such as praying for rain, reproduction, regeneration and praying for the growth of all things. The women's circle dance in the bronze age of Crete was slow and steady, with a small dance range and a relaxed and happy dance, which reflected the Crete people's mentality of material wealth and leisurely life.
