Paean is a Mongolian dance, and it has its own special nuances that makes it so Mongolian.   Dances speak volumes about their culture and reflect their philosophy towards life, their way of life and the environment they live in.  Mongolians are known to be emotional and expressive.  They are very free people, and they live on the open plains and grasslands that stretch seemingly forever on either side.  Unlike many other places in China, Inner Mongolia has a small population, so movement is never restricted and everyone is free.  They live a nomadic lifestyle and many love nothing better than galloping over the grasslands, moving, and being free.  Paean is a dance that expresses Mongolian's pride of their homeland, freedom, and heritage.
