During the competition, troupes performed choreographed routines emphasizing coordination, strength, and technical skill. The performances combined traditional movements with modern competitive elements, set against Sanya's coastal backdrop.
Italian Chinese athlete Zhu Chuyi, 25, said participation in dragon and lion dance involves more than mastering technique. "Martial arts is not just a sport; it has profound cultural depth," she said. "While learning the routines, understanding wude (martial virtue) is more important."
