Appreciation of China's Traditional Art Appreciation Abstracts

China's traditional art heritage is extremely rich and brilliant. Traditional art 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. 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 skills are naive, they have mastered the original creation.

Traditional artistic ability can also pay attention to the main characteristics of animals, plants and other dynamic and static forms to express the beliefs and wishes of ancestors and beautify our lives.

Pre-Qin paintings have been recorded in some ancient books, such as historical figures in palaces, halls and temples in the Zhou Dynasty, lacquerware and bronze decorations in the Warring States period, and silk paintings unearthed in the State of Chu, all of which have reached a high level.

Qin and Han Dynasties were a centralized power in the early history of China, with a vast territory and strong national strength. The Silk Road has communicated the artistic exchanges between China and foreign countries, and the painting art has developed and prospered unprecedentedly. Especially in the Han Dynasty, the wind of heavy burial prevailed, and its tomb murals, portrait bricks, portrait stones and silk paintings with burial vividly shaped realistic, historical and mythical characters, which were dynamic and plot-like, and made great achievements in reflecting real life. His painting style is often bold and bold, with flowing brushwork, rough and bold, fine and magnificent, rich in content and colorful in form.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, wars were frequent and people's livelihood was poor, but painting still made great progress. Suffering provided the soil for Buddhism to spread, and Buddhist art rose with great enthusiasm. For example, Qizil Grottoes in Xinjiang, Maijishan Grottoes in Gansu and Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang have preserved a large number of murals of this period, and their artistic attainments are extremely high. Due to the love and participation of the upper class in painting, besides craftsmen, a number of well-known upper class painters emerged, such as Gu Kaizhi. Metaphysics prevailed in this period, literati advocated elegance and freedom, painting history, painting theory and other works began to appear, and landscape painting and flower-and-bird painting began to sprout. Paintings in this period paid attention to the depiction of mental state and the expression of temperament, and paintings with literature as the theme became increasingly popular.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, national unity, relatively stable society, relatively prosperous economy and active foreign exchanges injected new opportunities into the art of painting. In terms of figure painting, although Western painting style is still popular in Buddhist murals, Wu Daozi, Zhou Fang and others' works with distinctive Central Plains painting style have an absolute advantage, and their national styles are becoming more and more mature. The landscape paintings and flower-and-bird paintings of Zhan Ziqian, Li Sixun, Wang Wei and Zhang Yong are neat and rich, and have achieved good results.

In China, the authenticity of painting reached its peak in the Song Dynasty in the12nd century, especially Guo's "Early Spring Map" was the peak of realism, and then it began to show subjective interest. Since Wang Wei was known as "painting in poetry" and "painting in poetry", the long tradition of literati painting has continued to this day. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, China's painting has gradually.

Traditional art tends to pay attention to the formalism of pen and ink interest. For example, Wen Zhiming's painting is not to depict the scenery, but to accumulate various brushstrokes through the scenery. By the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty in the15th century, painters had begun to express themselves without paying attention to the description of the objective world. Instead, Badashanren, Yangzhou Baguai, Ren Bonian and Wu Changshuo all have strong self-styles, and no longer care about the authenticity of nature. Modern painters such as Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian show their demeanor. Their paintings are not necessarily true, but no one can imitate the essence of their paintings!

After the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, China's painting art became more mature and complete, and its heyday appeared. The imperial court set up a painting academy, expanded its organization, recruited talents and awarded titles. Palace painting is in full swing, and literati also regard painting as an elegant thing and put forward distinct aesthetic standards. Therefore, painters come forth in large numbers with many representative works, forming a unique system in theory and creation, with rich and refined content, form and techniques. With the development of painting in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, literati painting has made outstanding progress. On the theme, landscape painting and flower-and-bird painting occupy an absolute position. Literati painting emphasizes the expression of subjective feelings, "not seeking resemblance" and "not seeking worldly feelings", and does not cater to the aesthetic requirements of the public. It shows elegance and leisure interest by painting, advocates "learning from nature" and "the source of law", emphasizes the unity of personality and painting, and pays attention to the organic integration of pen and ink interest with poetry, books and seals, forming a unique painting style and emerging many outstanding painters.

China's painting is an important part of China culture, rooted in the soil of national culture. It is not only limited to appearance, but also emphasizes spirit likeness. It uses brush, ink and rice paper as special materials, constructs a unique perspective theory, boldly breaks the time and space restrictions, and has a high degree of generalization and imagination. This superb skill and means not only makes China traditional painting unique in artistic courage, but also is increasingly absorbed by modern art in the world.

Traditional art-music

National music, new music, China music and China traditional music have different connotations and extensions.

Traditional art

China traditional music can be divided into five categories.

Brief introduction of China traditional music: We can see the word "national music" on many folk music CDs. This "national music" refers to music handed down from ancient times and developed in modern times. It can be seen that the creation time of "national music" refers to ancient times;

"New music" refers to music written by people who have studied western music, such as school songs. It can be seen that the creation time of new music was after 1840 Opium War.

"China Music" not only refers to the music handed down from ancient times, but also refers to the music created and adapted by China people according to western theories.

"China traditional music" refers to the music created by the people of China in their own ways and forms, including both ancient works produced in history and contemporary works. It can be seen that traditional music includes "national music" but not "new music", but they are all "China 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. On the contrary, the school song and piano solo "Shepherd Boy Piccolo" are not traditional music because they borrow the musical morphological characteristics of western music.

The division of traditional music was first seen in the Introduction to National Music compiled by China Conservatory of Music, which can be divided into five categories: songs, song and dance music, rap music, opera and instrumental music. However, most colleges and universities incorporate song and dance music into folk songs in their teaching, so it becomes four categories: folk songs, national instrumental music, folk art (that is, "rap") music and opera music.

Actually, "national music", "traditional music" and "folk music" are three different concepts: "national music" includes traditional music and new music; And "folk music" is just a category of traditional music. Moreover, our national music is very rich, including court music, religious music and literati music besides folk music.

Mr. Du divided China traditional music 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.

Traditional art-opera

Traditional Chinese opera is a traditional form of drama in China. It integrates literature, music, dance, fine arts, martial arts, acrobatics and performing arts. it

Traditional art 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. Although its origin comes from three different artistic forms: folk song and dance, rap and burlesque, the biggest feature that distinguishes a drama is that it comes from different vocal systems. These musical vocals are based on the language, folk songs and folk music in the region where they are produced, and are produced by absorbing music from other regions. Most of the characters in various dramas are filled by characters with different faces, such as life, Dan, Jing and Ugliness. The focus of the performance is to use routine movements extracted from life and virtual space processing. Paying attention to the art of singing, reading, doing, playing, acting and dancing, with high technical content, constitutes a complete traditional Chinese opera art system different from other operas.

According to incomplete statistics, there are about 360 kinds of traditional operas and tens of thousands of traditional plays in ethnic minority areas in China. After the founding of New China, many traditional plays have been adapted, and new historical plays and modern plays that express the theme of modern life have been warmly welcomed by the audience. The more popular and famous operas are: Beijing Opera, Kunqu Opera, Yue Opera, Henan Opera, xiang opera Opera, Guangdong Opera, Qin Opera, Sichuan Opera, Pingju Opera, Shanxi Opera, Han Opera, Chaozhou Opera, Fujian Opera, Qi Opera, Hebei Bangzi Opera, Anqing Huangmei Opera and Hunan Opera. There are more than 50 operas, especially Peking Opera, which are the most popular and spread all over the country.

China's ancient drama is called "drama" because it is mainly composed of "drama" and "qu". China's operas mainly include Southern Opera in Song and Yuan Dynasties, Zaju in Yuan and Ming Dynasties, legends and legends in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and traditional repertoires of modern Peking Opera and other local operas. Is the floorboard of China national drama culture.
