Mastery, Signature Works & Repertoire

While preserving the authenticity of the genre, she accurately conveys the twisting and tilting carriage and the slipping and flashing dynamics, bringing out the dance's latent meaning, strengthening the sculptural quality of its posture and dynamics, and forming her own distinctive artistic style and signature movements, such as the wiping and turning fan, the skipping and brushing start, the lifting, covering and turning fan, and the linked turning fan oblique tower. A large body of outstanding Huagudeng works she has created has repeatedly won national, provincial and ministerial awards.
