What are the contents of the traditional leisure culture of Chinese people?

Culture is the material and non-material wealth about politics, economy and culture summarized by human beings after a long social practice. Then there must be some culture that belongs to leisure. And this leisure is the need of life activities, which also promotes the development process of society to a certain extent. We can also find many literati in our historical documents who have their own way of leisure. For example, calligraphy and painting, playing the zither and singing, and traveling in the mountains and waters are all important expressions of our traditional leisure culture.

One, the traditional leisure

China's ancient society of all classes of people should be the different needs of social development, but also produce different ways of leisure. For example, the literati will often meet together in the study of poetry and song, so that we can leave a lot of future generations of popular poetry works, in addition to the literati will get together to play the piano and rap. Some ordinary people also have their own way of leisure. For example, the ethnic minorities would get together to sing songs and dance for rituals. Han Chinese women can embroider some handwork as a way of leisure, and men can play around or other recreational activities such as cockfighting and horseback riding.

II. Concept of Leisure Culture

I have held a recognized attitude towards leisure culture since ancient times. Confucius is the founder of Confucianism in our country, and the philosophy of leisure is mentioned in his Confucianism. We can also see from Confucius traveling around the world running around, he is indifferent to the concept of leisure. The concepts of the School of Arrival are the best elaboration of the culture of leisure. They do not seek fame and fortune, but only seek to follow their own selves. They advocate the unity of man and nature, follow the law of natural development, and free themselves from the mundane and tedious life. From this, we can also see that our country has held a positive and optimistic attitude towards leisure culture throughout the dynasties.

Third, the significance of leisure culture

China's records throughout the ages have used a lot of ink to record people's ways of leisure. Almost all the literati have written poems and songs about leisure, and many people of the school of thought have put forward the idea of the concept of leisure. So leisure culture is an important part of our traditional culture.
