Ancient Wisdoms

Fifty years after the Cultural Revolution ended, so much of what it destroyed is still missing: temples, relics, books, and the values they carried. For 20 years, Shen Yun has traveled the world with a simple mission: to bring back “China Before Communism,” 5,000 years of traditional culture, and the values of courage, loyalty, compassion, and virtue.

🚨CANADA’S NATIONAL ARTS CENTRE HOSTED SHEN YUN FOR 18 YEARS. THEN IT STOPPED. Officials met with the Chinese ambassador. Months later, officials dropped Shen Yun for 2026 and beyond. Coincidence? Rebel News asked a Liberal minister whether embassy influence played a role. His answer: “I don’t know. Ask the NAC.” Then he added: “I think there’s a lot of opportunity to do things with the Chinese.” 50,000+ Canadians signed a petition. It was delivered in early October. The stage is still dark. Who decides what Canadians get to see: Canadian institutions, or a foreign government? Demand answers now. #ShenYun #NAC #StandwithShenYun #Ottawa

Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra is not just Chinese music with a Western orchestra. It’s a live blend of a full symphony and traditional instruments — the erhu, the pipa — written so that ancient melodies fill a modern hall. People walk out saying it’s medicine for the soul. An antidepressant. And then the line that keeps coming back: “I just cannot get enough of it.” #ShenYun #orchestra #symphony #classicaldance #chinesedance

On July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist regime launched a brutal campaign to wipe out Falun Gong—a peaceful practice that brought us and millions around the world health, joy, and inner strength. Overnight, it was vilified. Our loved ones were forced into labor camps and tortured for refusing to abandon their faith. It’s been 27 years. But our belief remains unwavering. Through our art, we continue to share light, beauty, and truth—with the hope that one day, this injustice will end. #StandwithShenYun #CCP #artisticfreedom

You may have seen this impressive tumbling technique in Shen Yun performances, where a dancer completes a front walkover in the air without using the hands. Known as Front Aerial, or “Qian Ting 前挺,” this dynamic movement is a fundamental skill in classical Chinese dance. In this episode, principal dancer Angelia Wang introduces front aerial, breaking down the technique and showing what it takes to master this essential movement. Essentially a front walkover without the hands, a front aerial requires strength, flexibility, coordination, and precise control. As dancers progress, this fundamental skill can be incorporated into increasingly challenging and complex combinations. #StandwithShenyun #classicaldance #Chinesedance
