What influence does China's traditional art have in foreign countries?

China's traditional art heritage is extremely rich and brilliant. Painting, calligraphy, music, dance, opera, gardens, architecture, sculpture, arts and crafts, traditional cuisine, etc. There are thousands of years of accumulation, great creations, and all reveal the profound cultural heritage of a 5,000-year-old civilization. This is the precious wealth of the Chinese nation and all mankind. China traditional art, with its strong local flavor, simple artistic connotation and vivid historical traces, has been more and more loved and appreciated by people all over the world, and has become a "feast" of human culture.

With the development of traditional art in China today, some categories have more or less retreated from the marginalized position and are in an embarrassing situation where there are no successors. The development prospects of some categories are very uncertain, and some people even think that these categories have lost their vitality and should be sent to museums. At the same time, with the development of economic globalization, the increasing diversification of cultural forms and the constant impact of foreign cultures, the development of China's traditional art is facing unprecedented challenges with the continuous influx of western culture, art, lifestyle and values. For example, the market of drama, whether it is Peking Opera, which is known as the "quintessence of Chinese culture", or local operas with a long history in various places, is shrinking day by day; For example, China's traditional art departments such as fine arts and traditional Chinese painting are getting less and less attention.

It is worth thinking, why are we only interested in foreign traditional culture? For example, young people prefer coffee to tea, like listening to foreign folk songs and boycotting China's plays. Coffee is traditional in foreign countries, but it is still very popular. Even though rock music is traditional, it can still drive young people crazy. Young people abroad don't pay much attention to the distinction between avant-garde and tradition, and many fashionable things are evolved from tradition.

Of course, there are many reasons for this situation of China's traditional art, but one of the important reasons is that we lack a deep understanding of China's traditional art and a lack of popular and large-scale publicity on its cultural and spiritual connotation and various values. As the masters of the future society, many young people know little about our traditional art. If this continues, the profound traditional art in China will disappear one day.

From the perspective of cultural appreciation, tradition is national and national is world-wide; But from the perspective of cultural characteristics and protection, tradition can only be national, and China's traditional art can only be protected by China himself. The creation and development of traditional art can not be separated from the national characteristics and habits that gave birth to her. Only by concentrating all our efforts can we accomplish this glorious mission.

Our wish is to show you China's long, profound and colorful traditional arts through our efforts, so that more people can understand China and China's traditional arts, and these artistic treasures can be carried forward and passed down. But I believe that with our joint efforts, none of this will happen.
