A "celestial maiden" glides over the water at Luoyi Ancient City in Luoyang, Henan Province, scattering petals into the air as visitors stop in amazement. The viral performance Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers, inspired by Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River written by Chinese poet Cao Zhi more than 1,800 years ago, reimagines the goddess through dance and costume. Using biodegradable petals made of glutinous rice paper, wire work and lighting effects, the show blends traditional aesthetics with modern technology, reviving a timeless vision of Chinese elegance.
