Chinese paper arts artifacts were beamed on a giant scroll slowly unfurling. At its center was a piece of white canvas paper, which then ushered in a performance of black-costumed dancers whose hands hid brushes that had been dipped in ink. They performed a dance while leaving their trails on the block of white paper, reminiscent of Chinese ink and wash art. This is accompanied by the sounds of the guqin, China's ancient 7 string zither, as played by Chen Leiji (陳雷激).
