The company stated that its purpose is to try to revive some of the old Chinese culture and traditions. However, the performances have not been without their share of controversy. The performances of 2018 and 2019 drew some attention in that some performances included lyrics and digital displays and negative views toward evolution, atheism, and homosexuality. Audience and critical comments felt they promoted sectarian doctrines viewers commented and complained that the shows were misrepresented and the advertising of the shows "felt more like propaganda than the expected straightforwardly presentation of a cultural heritage". The Chinese government considers the group to be an "anti-society cult", and has banned Shen Yun from performing in China.
