Editor’s Note

In the spring of 1956, the “Twelve-year Long-term Plan for Philosophy and Social Sciences” was issued;following that, “The Draft of 1956-1967Art Study Plan— Twelve-year Long-term Plan for Dance (Preliminary Version)” was formulated. In October of the same year, the Chinese Association of Dance Study set up the “research team of Chinese dance history” —starting from here, the foundational achievements on Chinese dance history were published within the fi rst decade.
