The nation belongs to the world. Chinese traditional dance is a precious cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, containing rich cultural connotations and profound spiritual meanings. It is not only a form of artistic performance, but also a symbol and representative of excellent Chinese culture. It showcases the accumulation of China's 5000 year civilization and is a treasure of traditional Chinese culture.The dance arrangement of this China Nigeria Cultural and Art Exchange Conference is innovative and distinctive, which is the hard work and wisdom of every dance teacher behind it. They are: Xi Yingying, Zhang Xiao, Guo Yuanshuo, Ye Qing, Chang Fangyuan, Cheng Xijia, Chen Hua (in no particular order). They are the inheritors of Chinese national dance and would like to commend all outstanding dance teachers.There is also the supervising teacher Xi Haijing, who cultivates talents with ingenuity. Although the microphone is small, the responsibility is significant. The shining of the two young hosts during the event reflects the hard work of the teachers in every moment. The complete success of the event cannot be separated from the careful guidance of theteachers behind it. We pay tribute to the excellent hosting and guidance teacher, Xi Haijing.

The Yangtze River dances with the Niger River on the waves, and the Great Wall and the ancient city of Houza look out at the sunrise. May the friendship between China and Nigeria be as warm as African drumbeats and as long as Chinese silk. May the path of Chinese dance continue to widen, becoming a bridge connecting cultural exchanges around the world, and allowing the dance art of the Chinese nation to shine brighter on the international stage.

Wishing the friendship between China and Nigeria to last forever!
