Chinese folk dance, as a vibrant expression of art, serves as a conduit for the rich tapestry of folk culture, historical tradition, religious philosophy and mysticism. This study delves into these elements within Chinese folk dance, analyzing their cultural connotations and spiritual significance. It begins with the origins of folk dance, exploring the characteristics, concepts and cultural types of dance, and establishes their interconnectedness. Furthermore, it examines the role of religious philosophy and mysticism in enriching the content and form of dance, highlighting their deep social and spiritual value. Research has shown that understanding the religious and mystical elements of Chinese folk dance is essential for cultural preservation and education. Integrating these elements into educational curricula and cultural conservation efforts can cultivate the younger generation’s understanding of China’s intangible cultural heritage and keep the traditions alive and relevant. This not only enriches the educational experience, but also promotes the continuation and development of traditional Chinese culture.
