Traditional cultural life

China is one of the four ancient civilizations with a long history and a long history of culture. In the long history of 5,000 years, it has left us a huge treasure house with many "treasures". There are exquisite folk arts and crafts, such as paper-cutting, ceramics and so on. There are ancient folk arts, such as drama and Chinese painting; There are unique customs, such as Lantern Festival, etc ... However, I have a soft spot for national art and Chinese painting.

The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is an ink painting, and it is also a well-known Chinese painting at home and abroad. It was painted by Zhang Zeduan, a painter in the Northern Song Dynasty. This painting is very long, 528 cm! It is 24.8 centimeters wide. This painting depicts a vivid scene of the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival has a history of more than 800 years, and it is still in the Palace Museum in Beijing!

Zhang Zeduan put a lot of effort into painting this painting. There are more than 500 people in the picture alone, including farmers from rural areas, wandering doctors, boatmen who sail boats, businessmen who do various businesses, vendors who set up stalls, bearded Taoist priests, officials and scholars ... 360 lines are all painted.

The market there is very active. There are shops, workshops, restaurants and teahouses on the street, and all kinds of signs are hung ... very lively. Walking in the street are all kinds of people coming and going: some are riding horses, some are driving little donkeys, some children are flying kites happily, some are carrying burdens, some are pushing unicycles at that time, and some are strolling leisurely in the street ... Some people are less than an inch in the picture, but we can clearly see what people are doing.

The national art of our country is really interesting! China really deserves to be one of the four ancient civilizations! Oh, I forgot, we should not just watch and not carry forward, we should carry forward what has been handed down from our motherland!

Traditional cultural life

Since ancient times, we humans still maintain a traditional festival ... Yes, it is the Spring Festival.

During the Spring Festival, everyone will stick couplets, blessings and stickers, which means that happiness has come to us. During the Spring Festival, we will also set off firecrackers and eat jiaozi. Jiaozi means "jiaozi", which is the transition and alternation from the old year to the new year. The ancients used to wrap a coin in jiaozi, and whoever ate the money and jiaozi first would be blessed in the new year, but modern people think that coins are too unsanitary, so they wrap sugar instead. ......

There are many traditional cultures in life, such as setting off firecrackers in the New Year and climbing mountains on the Double Ninth Festival. Let's take setting off firecrackers in the New Year as an example.

Why should firecrackers be set off during the Spring Festival? It turns out that a long time ago, there was a kind of "Nian" beast, which came to eat people every New Year and could eat a village at a time! Everyone is afraid! One year, Nian beast came to eat people again, and everyone ran to Kunlun Mountain. At this time, an old man made Spring Festival couplets with red paper, firecrackers with straw and lanterns with candles. Nian beast was scared out of her wits when she saw these things. Since then, Nian has never been to the earth again, but people are afraid that Nian will eat people again, so they set off firecrackers on New Year's Day.
