1. Introduction.
Over the course of thousands of years, China has developed a vibrant culture.
The culture of China was influenced by the attitude towards nature as an organic whole, living according to its own laws.
It was nature and the laws of its development that were at the center of creative searches, which for a long time determined the features of the development of all types of art without exception. Human life in China was commensurate with the life of nature, its cycles, rhythms, states. In Greece, man was “the measure of all things,” but in China he is only a small particle of nature.
Confucianism and Buddhism have influenced Chinese culture. Many Chinese achievements date back to the Middle Ages.
China has surpassed all countries in the world,
He reached the top in all arts.
2. Masterpieces Chinese architecture.
The peculiarity of Chinese architecture is that the architects could find the most picturesque and natural place for architecture. Monasteries rise at the top of the mountains, Chinese temples and pagodas are built in hard-to-reach places, stone steles rise along the edges of roads, and luxurious palaces of emperors are erected in the center of bustling cities.
It stretches for 5 km along the northwestern border The Great Wall of China. Its construction dates back to the 4th-3rd centuries and was completed in the 15th century. Its purpose is to protect the Chinese state from attacks by nomadic tribes from the north. A road 5-8 meters wide was laid along its top for the advancement of troops. This structure was designed to protect the power of the Chinese state.
One of the most common buildings has become pagoda - a memorial tower erected in honor of the deeds of great people.
The pagoda is of enormous size and reaches a height of 50 meters Appearance The pagoda is simple, and almost no decorative elements are used. Distinctive feature pagodas are the pointed edges of the roof. This makes the building lighter and emphasizes its upward direction.
The 64-meter Dayanta Pagoda (Great Wild Goose Pagoda) is one of the best examples of Chinese style in architecture. The name of the pagoda goes back to the legend of the famous pilgrim who, during his journey from India to China, was helped to find his way by wild geese. They indicated the place for the construction of the pagoda. Dayanta, against the backdrop of a vast mountain range, rises above the outskirts of the city of Xi'an - the former capital of the Chinese state. Seven floors, separated from each other by cornices, taper towards the top of the pagoda, emphasizing its aspiration to the sky. That is why from a distance it gives the impression of heaviness and massiveness.
Thanks to its elongated proportions, the pagoda appears light and graceful.
The illusion of height is created by windows rounded at the top. In the simple and straight lines of the pagoda, the architect was able to express the sublime spiritual impulse and greatness of his time.
Buddhist cave temples located in the mountains have become an extraordinary phenomenon in architecture. Cave Buddhist
Monastery Yungang belongs to the masterpieces of world architecture. A 60 m high cliff stretches for almost 2 km, in which there are over 20 caves at various heights. Some of them reach a height of 15 m. And are deepened into the rock by 9-10 m. Each of the caves is dedicated to a specific Buddhist god. Inside there are many images of sculptures and reliefs on themes of Buddhist tales and legends. Outside, the rock is decorated with sculptural monuments, bas-reliefs, and statues. The cave temple amazes with its grandeur.
The main form of religious and residential buildings in China is a rectangular pavilion, the main feature of which is carved brackets supporting the roof. A high 2-, 3-, 4-slope roof is a characteristic element of Chinese Architecture. Inside, the building is divided into 2 or 3 naves, and outside it has a gallery with pillars that also support the roof.
Such a roof protected from snow and rain. The roof slopes had a strictly curved shape, its ends bent upward. Ceramic figurines depicting fantastic animals and dragons were mounted on the roof ridges, and later bells were hung.
The emblem of China has become Temple of Heaven in Beijing. 2-tier conical roof, glazed blue tiles conical roofs represent like a dazzling mountain peak.
The grandiose complex is dedicated to ancient religious cults associated with harvesting. In which heaven and earth were revered. It was this circumstance that determined the originality of the architectural design. Enclosed by walls, it includes 3 main shrines: a round wooden temple of Prayers for the Harvest, a temple of the Firmament and a white marble altar where sacrifices were made to the spirits of Heaven. There is a lot of symbolism in this architectural temple: the square area of the palace symbolizes the Earth, the temple buildings and the altar. Framed by a round terrace - the sign of the Sun, the pointed peaks of the conical roofs represent
A continuous cycle of movements of natural elements. The viewer slowly walks between the arches, climbing numerous steps, gradually getting used to the rhythm of the ensemble, comprehending its beauty and grandeur.
Chinese gardening art has gained worldwide fame.
A true masterpiece of landscape art - Benhai complex in Beijing.
The symmetrical layout of the Imperial Garden includes slides made of massive stone blocks, bamboo groves, plantings of rare trees and shrubs. Elegant gazebos and pavilions with a fancy pattern of golden roofs along the banks of the
milking with goldfish. The names of the pavilions reflect the most important periods of the agricultural cycle (ten thousand autumns, ten thousand springs) - plowing and harvesting. About 700 mosaic panels made of multi-colored stones decorate the garden and park complex. They depict picturesque landscapes, exquisite plants, mythological heroes, scenes from theater and opera productions.
In the Imperial Garden there is a collection of stones of the most bizarre shapes, brought from different parts of China.
Next to these unusual exhibits, in winter, pine trees turn green and unfading bamboo rustles, and in spring, wild meihua plum and white-pink peonies bloom luxuriantly. At the beginning of autumn, the cinnamon tree exudes its aroma, and chrysanthemums captivate with their beauty.
3. Sculpture of China.
The sculpture has always been popular in China. It expressed the idea of power and unlimited power, back in the 3rd century. BC, when the state of Qin was formed.
During archaeological excavations in the province of Shaanxi, in the underground corridors of burial complexes, a 10-thousand-strong army made of terracotta was discovered. Life-size soldiers and officers, archers and infantrymen, charioteers and horsemen, with full military equipment, demonstrated the power of the emperor who created the first Chinese power.
All figures are full of expression, verisimilitude and variety of movements. Military leaders are depicted frozen in solemn poses, archers pull a tight bowstring, soldiers kneeling on one knee are preparing to defeat an invisible enemy. A hierarchy of ranks emerged in the coloring book. 130 clay chariots and 500 sculpted horses were also discovered. The clay army, built in battle formation, faithfully guarded the peace of its ruler.
Funerary sculpture was further developed in the art of the 7th-13th centuries. The funeral ensemble near Xi'an, the capital of the Chinese Empire, was decorated with sculptural works, in which scenes of court life are reproduced. Graceful dancers in the rhythms of dance, fashionistas in bright clothes, jugglers and musicians, servants and nomads.
A characteristic feature is the connection of the sculpture with the Buddhist religion. Here you can see terrible guards of the entrance, trampling dragons, Buddhist saints, a monumental image of Buddha. One of the most perfect sculptures is a 25-meter statue Buddha Vairocanna.(Lords of Cosmic Light), carved into the mountains in Lunmen Cave.
4. Genres of Chinese painting.
The desire to comprehend through particulars the universal laws of existence and the interrelation of phenomena is a characteristic feature of Chinese painting. It is mainly represented by vertical and horizontal scrolls made of silk and paper. Vertical scrolls were hung on the walls and did not exceed 3 m. Horizontal scrolls were intended for long-term viewing and reached several meters .Unfolding such a scroll, the viewer seemed to go on a journey.
Pictures were usually painted in ink or mineral paints, accompanied by calligraphic inscriptions.
The artist either quoted poetry or composed poetry himself.
Chinese painting is represented by various genres: landscape, everyday life, portrait, historical and everyday life. Of particular interest are images such as “mountains-water”, “flowers-birds”. Chinese artists knew how to express the idea of the boundlessness of the world. In the majestic image of the world of mountains, forests and rivers you can see small figures of travelers. They are not in a hurry, they are simply contemplating the beauty.
On a mountain top
I spend the night in an abandoned temple.
I can touch the twinkling stars with my hand.
I'm afraid to speak loudly:
With earthly words
I am the inhabitants of the sky
I don't dare disturb the peace
Li Bo. “Temple on the top of the mountain.”
This is how the Chinese poet Li Bo expressed the harmony between man and nature.
Landscape painting in China is not rich in colors. Often it is monochrome, but there are so many shades and combinations in it. The artists have achieved enormous skill in conveying aerial perspective. The format and compositional solution of the painting was carefully thought out. To depict a chain of mountains, a horizontal format of the scroll was chosen, for a mountainous area with pointed peaks of pine trees, a vertical format was chosen.
“You cannot give trees without number: it is more important to show how slender and lovely the mountains are. Among the rocks, overhanging and dangerous cliffs, it would be nice to shelter a strange tree. Distant mountains should be lowered and laid out, while nearby groves should be allowed to emerge sharply.”
There are many symbols in the landscapes of Chinese artists: a pair of ducks symbolized family happiness, a pheasant - a successful career, a lotus flower - a symbol of purity, flexible bamboo - wisdom and resistance to life's adversities, a pine tree - an allegory of longevity, a blooming meihua plum - a symbol of nobility and perseverance.
One of the soulful artists of lyrical landscape is Guo Xi. It is in the variability of nature that its beauty lies.
Ma Yun’s monochrome painting “Ducks, Rocks and Meihua” is exquisitely simple and laconic.
The portrait genre is one of the oldest in Chinese painting. It has been known since the 5th century. BC e., associated with the cult of ancestors. The image of the poet Li Bo is embodied in the portrait of Liang Kai.
