Associate Professor Lu Yen-ching from the National Tsing Hua University’s Art and Design Department saw Shen Yun in Miaoli on April 14.
“As soon as the curtains opened and the gong sounded, clouds from the heavenly realms appeared before us. The grandeur was overwhelming, and the artistic layout inside was so expansive,” said Ms. Lu.
“As an art scholar myself, I believe everyone should possess a certain level of literacy in dance, drama, music, visual arts, and interdisciplinary studies. Shen Yun turns these expectations into reality.
“What’s special here is the color coordination, which can be described as a living dictionary of color appreciation.
“Although today’s time was short, I am grateful to see such exquisite performances, all executed in unison. What we often see is edited; it is not live. But Shen Yun is different, so I am deeply moved.
“I believe everyone seeing Shen Yun will smile. Shen Yun is exemplary because its color coordination is very elegant, unlike earthly colors.
“I believe Shen Yun can inspire people to approach all future matters with a broad mind. In the art world, every artist must convey their uniqueness, but what Shen Yun conveys is universality,” she said.

She thought that in the modern world where technology is becoming more and more advanced, “the shiny and kind side of human nature should more so be guided out. So seeing performances like this would elevate our kind side, traditional culture, morals, and various aspects,” she said.
