Famous Beauty Dancer: Xishi - Chinese Dance
 
   

Dancer Xishi was also one of the most famous four beauties in the Chinese history. She was also the heroin of a famous beauty trap in the history. But few people know that Xishi was also a renowned dancer.

Xishi was the most famous dancer in the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476BC). In order to get back his power and rebuild his country, the king of the Yue State sent Xishi to the king of the Wu State as a gift.

The king of the Wu State was totally enchanted by Xishi at the first sight. When the king knew that Xishi was good at dancing, he ordered his people to build a long aisle, dig a big hole under the aisle and cover it with boards. Her skirts embroidered with bells, Xishi danced to the accompaniment of jingling. The king of the Wu State was crazy for Xishi and her dances. He called the dance as Sounding-Shoe-Dance and the aisle as Sounding-Shoe-Aisle.

At last, the king of the Wu State lost his country for Xishi.
