What are the national arts in China?

There are many national arts in China, which are briefly introduced as follows:

1, drama

Traditional Chinese opera is a traditional form of drama in China. It integrates literature, music, dance, fine arts, martial arts, acrobatics and performing arts. Its origin has a long history. As early as the primitive society, song and dance sprouted. In the long process of development, after more than 800 years of continuous enrichment, innovation and development, a relatively complete system of traditional Chinese opera art has gradually formed.

There are about 360 kinds of traditional operas and tens of thousands of traditional plays in ethnic minority areas in China. China's five major dramas are Beijing Opera, Henan Opera, Yue Opera, Huangmei Opera and Pingju Opera in turn. Other popular operas: Kunqu Opera, xiang opera Opera, Cantonese Opera, Qin Opera, Sichuan Opera, Pingju Opera, Henan Opera, Jin Opera, Han Opera, Chaozhou Opera, Fujian Opera, Qi Opera, Hebei Bangzi Opera, Anqing Huangmei Opera, Hunan Opera and so on.

2. Calligraphy

China's calligraphy is a unique art category, which is both a symbol and a form of expressing thoughts.

China's calligraphy uses brush, Xuan paper, ink and inkstone as tools. The author uses a brush and dips a proper amount of inkstone ink to write on rice paper.

China's calligraphy originated from Chinese characters, and pictograph is the most basic and important feature of Chinese characters. Like painting, it is based on objective images, so China's calligraphy is closely related to China's traditional painting.

3. Music

Traditional music is an extremely important part of China national music. The difference between traditional music and new music lies not in the order of music creation, but in its expression form and style characteristics. For example, Erhu solo "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" and "Fishing Boat Singing Night" are modern music works, but their playing forms are inherent in the Chinese nation, so they are also traditional music.

China traditional music is divided into: folk music, literati music, religious music and court music; Among them, folk music includes folk songs, national instrumental music, national songs and dances, opera music and rap music;

Literati music includes guqin music, poetry chanting and literati self-tuning; Religious music includes Buddhist music, Taoist music, Christian music, Iranian music, Shamanism and other religious music; Court music includes sacrificial music, court music, welcome music, sightseeing music and banquet music.

Step 4 paint

The history of China's painting can be traced back to the painted pottery patterns and rock paintings of Neolithic Age in primitive society. Although the original painting technique is naive, it has mastered the preliminary modeling ability, and can also master the main characteristics of animals, plants and other dynamic and static forms, so as to express the beliefs and wishes of our ancestors and beautify our lives.

5. clothes

There are two basic forms of traditional clothing, namely, upper garment system and garment system. According to legend, the system of coat under coat originated from the legendary era of the Yellow Emperor. Under the copula of "Yi", it says: "The Yellow Emperor and Yao Shun hang down their clothes and rule the world, covering all the dry Kun." This legend can be confirmed in the pottery paintings of painted pottery culture unearthed in Gansu. This can be said to be the basic form of the earliest clothing system in China.
