The dance drama takes the 24 Chinese solar terms as its time axis and refines six important terms related to Miao festivals — Winter Solstice, Beginning of Spring, Awakening of Insects, Summer Solstice, Major Heat and Beginning of Autumn.

The Ganqiu Festival, a traditional Miao celebration of the approaching autumn, was added to the UNESCO intangible culture heritage list in 2016.

The dances appeared in the Hunan Arts Festival, which is held every three years.

By depicting historical stories of the Miao, the show presents a unique view of the universe, time and fate, emphasizing that Chinese civilization is diverse and integrated.
