As a dance drama with the theme of "Double Intangible Cultural Heritage", the first thing the creators of "Wing Chun" had to face was how to combine Wing Chun and Heung Wan Sha, two national-level non-heritage dance dramas. The issue of integrating heritage projects into the stage. The biggest difference between martial arts and dance lies in the way of exerting force and the difference in breath.
