1, main content

Watching Dance is a beautiful essay written by Bing Xin, a famous writer, while enjoying the beautiful dance of Indian dancer Karama. Taking the praise of Karama sisters as emotional clues, the article vividly presents the exotic cultural customs in front of us through vivid and delicate descriptions.

2. Creative background

Watching Dance is an essay written by Bing Xin in the late 1950s, when Sino-Indian relations were in the honeymoon period. There are many different positions and viewpoints in the world, especially the Bandung Conference of 1955, which further promoted the development of Sino-Indian relations. It is against this background that Bing Xin wrote this essay with the theme of Indian dance, an exotic performance. It is precisely because of this background that this essay is also suspected to be a fitting work. The defects of this paper are also obvious.
