The cultural vibes of the Song Dynasty (960-1279), a high point in the country's social and economic prosperity, have staged a revival this year. A dance drama which was inspired by A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains, a 900-year-old landscape painting attributed to Song court painter Wang Ximeng, became a hit on China Central Television's Spring Festival Gala aired in late January. The performance has since kindled people's enthusiasm to imitate the dancers' challenging movements, or create works of art featuring the predominant blue and green hues in the painting, and to then share their creativity online.
