Within the context of the Chinese national community, which reflects a long history of multi-ethnic communication and integration, the sheepskin fan dance, characterized by the concept of “one dance, multiple ethnicities,” has emerged in Gansu. This dance embodies the spiritual values of integrity, inclusiveness, sharing, and co-creation. Centering on the sheepskin fan dance in the Gansu region, this paper examines its ontological characteristics, situates it within the framework of contemporary societal themes, and conducts a comprehensive analysis of similar folk dances with shared features. The aim is to guide the development of folk dances in the modern era while deepening their role and significance in fostering a strong sense of Chinese national identity.
