With a history of over 5,000 years, Chinese art is actually very rich in varieties, including calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting, music, opera, poetry and food culture as well as religious culture, all of which are the common wealth to all human beings. The Chinese art is favored by people from all over the world for its strong local color and profound cultural and historical connotation. Chinese Painting Chinese painting is a unique part of Chinese art, and it employs writing brush, ink, dye to exercise on rice papers or silk. Chinese painting is divided into elaborate-style painting and impressionistic-style painting, which are very different from each other in techniques. The figure painting was initiated in the late Zhou Dynasty (1046 B.C. – 221 B.C.) and reached its heyday in the Wei (220 - 265) and Jin (265 - 420) dynasties. Landscape painting and flower & bird painting formed their own system in the Sui (581–618) and Tang (618–907) dynasties and prevailed in the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279). Ink-wash painting was fashionable in the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368), and it’s still popular nowadays. The Chinese painting usually integrates with poems, calligraphy and seal carving to achieve the desired unity in form and spirit. Chinese Traditional Music The time-honored Chinese music dates back to the primitive clan society, 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, which was rather prosperous during the Shang and Zhou dynasties (1046 B.C. – 221 B.C.) owing to the rulers’ advocate, and it continues to develop in the following dynasties. As an important of Chinese art, Chinese music reflects the Chinese people’s spirit, will, strength, fantasy and pursuit. The Chinese music is deeply rooted in the time-honored traditional Chinese culture, and it’s basically composed of court music, religious music, folk music and scholar music. Chinese Porcelain The westerners had flooded into China since their mastering of sea-crafts, and then they called China “a porcelain country”. It’s true that China fully displays its history and folk customs to the westerners in the forms of the changing porcelains, and porcelains are really precious treasures of China. The singularity of Chinese porcelain is that it not only reflects the extensive social life, nature, culture, folk customs and philosophy, but it lies in that it reflects the way of life of the Chinese. The Chinese porcelain is a carrier of the Chinese art, which is a kind of static Chinese dance in some sense.
