Things are not floating clouds, and the skill of Lady Sun was the first in the Tang Dynasty [1], but the final outcome was wandering around the rivers and lakes and dying alone. However, her unparalleled skills are associated with two cultural peaks in China's history. It is because of her that we were lucky enough to see a wonderful painting by Zhang Xu, the sage of grass, and read a generous and sad poem "Sword Line" by Du Fu, the sage of poetry. The painter Emma Wu Daozi experienced the skill of using a pen by watching Gong Sundaniang's sword dance. The way to achieve the three saints, this peerless beauty should not be lonely again. Gong Sundaniang is a native of Yancheng North Street (now Luohe City, Henan Province).

Qin Shihuang's "Poem of Jinyang Gate" describes that when Emperor Tang Ming held a grand music and dance performance in the palace on his birthday, he was "amazed at the palace skills" and noted that "there was a sword dance, and the horn was wonderful at that time". "Ming Taizu Miscellaneous Notes" records that "Shang (Xuanzong) is familiar with temperament. Sometimes Gong Sundaniang is good at sword dancing, which can be called "Neighboring Song", "General Pei's Full House" and "Xihe Sword". Everything left behind is beautiful, and everything in time is beautiful. Gong Sundaniang is not only a superb dancer, but also good at dancing many sets of "sword dances", including "Xihe sword" and "vigorous sword" mentioned in Du Fu's Preface to Poetry, as well as "General Pei's full house" and "neighborhood songs". One of the most striking is "General Pei's Hall Full", which must refer to a dance adapted from General Pei Min's unique sword dance skills. In this dance, the status was greatly mobilized, colorful and thrilling. It was an extremely fierce sword dance.
