Final
The Ta Ge
The final presentation of the show is the Ta Ge, a clog dance.
This style of dance is an age-old tradition that was popular in the
palaces as well as among the common people of the Tang period. This
performance represents the people celebrating the Mid-Autumn-Moon-Festival
in a beautiful area near the emperor's palace at the foot of Li Shan
Mountain. As the people are joyfully dancing, the Tang Emperor appears
and joins in the celebration. For the people of ancient days, this
was a distinctive honour. In this performance, the Tang Emperor will
parade with his noble men through the festival grounds to give his
blessings to the people of his kingdom.
