Since the original state of social productivity is low, and people have no different view on the subject, object from thinking, so the strong desire to survive and utilitarian purposes ws shown in ancient Shao. It is the existence of these elements, making the Shao of this period show antique, rustic aesthetic characteristics, which are important symbols that make ancient Shao different from other stages. You can clearly see some sprout of ritual thought from Shao in this stage.Qi Shao is a etiquette both, skills, develop a more comprehensive music and dance. it weakened the strong utilitarian and the aggressive atmosphere enveloped in Ancient Shao, and while kept away from strict restraint of rites of the Zhou. After entering the Qi, Shao led to mature by the rapid integration of its an open mind and instant release from the energy with Qi open, honest, colorful folk customs and absorbing the essence of the local folk art.Qi Shao, who hasdegrees of grace, is a bright pearl in the history of music and dance.After the glorious period of Qi Shao, it was Shao's eliminate time that was caused by the internal and external interaction of two factors. Internal factors, the dance is the flow of art, the nature of its conditions for a high level of preservation needs for material support, however, the level of modern science and technology can not provide this protection. In addition, by the dance's development, the survival of dance is subject to constraints of time, is the product of the times, requires constant innovation and development to survive, but it can not be there forever and will change with the times and be replaced. External factors, the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, the ritual system collapse, without a strong policy to protect Shao, as the Qin and Han dynasties ritual by the system, it gradually lost its erstwhile dance style and status.Rapid development in technology today, people become more conscious of the strong protection of traditional culture, Shao has the opportunity to prominence again in this new era. Stage technology upgrading, the rapid development of dance technique, Since the founding of PRC, a more group of superb actors that have expanded steadily, provide a superior for Shao's new development. Of course, Shao of this time, who is different from the past ant any stage, shows a new look with the ancient atmosphere after the baptism of a new era and exhibits a new aesthetic.
