(Clearwisdom.net) On January 19, the Divine Performing Arts entertained the audience at the Nokia Center in Los Angeles with its flagship performance, the Chinese New Year Spectacular. For over two hours, artists captivated the audience with the beautiful culture from the divine land of ancient China. Regardless of their cultural background, members of the audience commented that they were impressed by the profound Chinese culture. Many Chinese people now living overseas said that the show reminded them of their lost memory of ancient Chinese values.
Mr. Guoyang Xu is a Boeing mechanical engineer. After watching the show, he said: "The programs were very good. The colors and the costumes were both great. I like the Water Sleeves the most as it reminded the "A Dreamful Dance of Grace" [a famous classic dance from Tang Dynasty] and it was like reading poems from the Tang Dynasty in my childhood."
"This show is also very important and very valuable as it gives many westerners a taste of authentic Chinese culture."

Lina Yang is from Mainland China. She said: "The programs are very high quality. It has been a long time for me to get in touch with Chinese culture since I came to the States. It reinforced my love of our Chinese homeland."

Mr. Wu immigrated to the United States from Taiwan 25 years ago and runs an import/export business. He said that his favored piece was the "Drummers of the Tang Court."
