The music of Bay Nian (拜年) creates the highly festive atmosphere of the Taiwanese New Year, while the dance movements emulate the actions the Taiwanese take when making ceremonial
calls or pasting couplets on the door (as in the photo) at the New Year. When dancers say "Gong-Xi" to each other they are congratulating each other on surviving the demons of the past year. This dance was choreographed by Si-Min Wang in 1989. Presented in 2010 by Fang-Chich Chen. View the pdf here.
