What is the essence of traditional culture?

The essence of traditional culture is national quintessence.

Chinese Peking Opera, Chinese painting and China medicine, which are well-known at home and abroad, are called "the three quintessences of China" by the world.

These three quintessences have distinct national characteristics and show the unique artistic origin and technological development track of the Chinese nation.

Chinese painting is the main type of oriental painting in the world, with a history of thousands of years.

Chinese painting can basically be divided into three categories:

Figure painting, landscape painting, flower and bird painting. From Luoshen by Gu Kaizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty to Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival by Zhang Zeduan in the Northern Song Dynasty;

From Tang Bohu's Autumn Fan Map in Ming Dynasty to Zheng Banqiao's Zhu Mei in Qing Dynasty;

From flowers and birds in modern Wu Changshuo to landscapes of Zhang Daqian, shrimps of Qi Baishi, horses of Xu Beihong and so on.

Painters of past dynasties have created countless scrolls, and the Palace Museum has collected thousands of famous paintings. However, the Catalogue of China Paintings published by the University of Tokyo in Japan records 3,900 famous paintings scattered in the United States, Japan, Southeast Asia and other countries.

Chinese Peking Opera has a history of nearly 200 years and is the most popular drama in China. Pay equal attention to singing, reading, doing and playing in the performance, and use virtual program actions.
