What impact did China culture have on western dance?

In 1950s, American avant-garde dancer Morse Cunningham got an English version of China's The Book of Changes, which is a huge treasure. He got important enlightenment from the dialectical thought about the ever-changing world in this ancient philosophical work of China. At the same time, he applied the principle of divination to his own dance creation, forming a kind of "opportunity choreography". Mr. Cunningham never seems to feel the shock of oriental culture. In 1970s, when Teresa Brown, another pioneer dancer, created her "relaxation technique" while playing China's "Tai Ji Chuan", Ms. Brown never worried about the conflict between eastern and western cultures.
