China art presents a deep and profound traditions and knowledge of the world. Chinese have their own way of thinking, quite hard to understand to those, who don`t belong to it. But still, all the branches of china art are great in all the tiniest details. Hundreds and thousands of years and artists were refining all the parts of the art. The traditions made the china art be special and keep originality though time.
China Art: Porcelain
China art is presented in so many brunches, so we will speak about the most characteristic ones, like porcelain. Actually, China is a birthplace of porcelain. We can say that china is the top of the traditional crafts of China. History of China is more than three-thousand years. Start of production of porcelain in China is approximately by 6-7 century, when, by improving technology and the selection of initial components began to receive products different whiteness and fineness of the crock. After the Eastern Han dynasty Chinese porcelain production has rapid growth. In different historical periods of Chinese porcelain there are their best examples. For example, the famous porcelain Tszyuntsi Henan Province, featuring a reddish sheen, iridescent blue, purple and white colors and transparency is the best Song Dynasty porcelain. During this period (10-12 centuries) made great strides in making porcelain. An example is the porcelain mark “Yaobyan”, which has a very high quality. This porcelain could in value and sophistication to compete with gold and jade. The best known pieces of china art at that time were the product workshops of Dehuai and Longquan.
China Art: Music
Talking about music china art, it is hard to imagine any celebration without music,without the ritual songs and dances, without performing traditional tunes. Already closely intertwined in a single semantic node idea sounding voice of nature and its reflection in the ritual singing, shows the inseparability of music in China from the ritual. According to Confucian views, bean ritual music serves as an important means by which it is possible to establish and maintain a hierarchical order in society, clearly distinguished from the position of domination and subordination provided by the figures of the ruler and subject, father and son, husband and wife, elder and younger brothers, and friends of all ages. Music is also considered a means of educating the noble manners: Confucians believed that, ideally, high musical culture would be sufficient to maintain good order in society (on this basis in theory, they were opposed to written law – Criminal Code, which, in any case not was applied to the upper classes). Thus, music became an undivided part not only of china art, but of life of the whole country.
China Art: Painting
China art also includes traditional Chinese painting, which is very different from the west. In form it is close to European Impressionism – the only difference that had existed for many centuries before the appearance of the latter. Picture – it’s a different world, where the grass may be black, and the faces – red. But all together in the same context looks organic; artist sees the harmonious fusion of human and natural. Chinese painting is moving from complex to simple. If the fish is drawn, then clean the area around the means water, while painting the mountains clean space can turn into a cloud. Traditional painting in china art tends to monochrome, monochrome canvas, believing in the spirit of Taoist ideas that “five colors blind man.”
