Folk dance faces danger of extinction
Folk artists perform Paoweizi, a folk dance on its way to extinction, in Anyang, Central China's Henan province, April 20, 2010. The 2,600-year-old dance was a derivative of ancient wars and had developed into a sacrificial dance with distinct appeal. However, because the city has fallen behind in its economic development and has adverse geographic conditions, fewer local artists engage in the dance and it is now in danger of extinction.
