The project was applied by the Office for International Cooperation and Exchange of SCMZU in November 2022 and successfully established in January 2023. School of Music and Dance is responsible for the creation and shooting of works of the project. “Chinese Melodious” refers to the integration of Chinese culture, and “Treasures” are excellent Chinese music and dance. “Chinese Melodious Treasure” is the symbol of Chinese culture that refines the commonality of works, and “Multiple Blossoming” refers to the diversity of art types and expression of different styles of music and dance, which are presented in the form of dance, vocal music, instrumental music, ensemble and chorus that reflect historic traditions and humanistic spirit.

The project works are divided into three chapters, which are Landscape and Song, Dress on the Earth and Chinese Charm. They tell the poetic charm of landscape, living beings and humanities in Chinese land in the form of song, music and dance. The series video works of music and dance of this project, launched on the platform of International Chinese Language Day, would help SCMZU’s international publicity of ethnic affairs and serve the international Chinese promotion and overseas dissemination of Chinese culture.
