Chuanjiang Chants (川江号子) is a form of folk singing performed by Chuanjiang boatmen in order to unify (使联合) their movements and rhythms (节奏). Chongqing and eastern Sichuan are the main birthplaces of the Chuanjiang Chants.
In the age of wooden boat shipping for thousands of years, the power (动力) of wooden boats on the river came from the body of the boatmen. Whenever they headed up against the river or when the boat crossed a shoal, the boatmen had to pull together. Moreover, the long journey was boring and boatmen needed something to relax, and the Chuanjiang Chants came into being.
Chuanjiang Chants are both technical and artistic. Boatmen control the direction of the boat just like a driver is responsible for that of a car. And chants are like the accelerator (油门) of a car, controlling the speed of the boat. Therefore, the chants can adjust (调整) the force of the boatmen through its rhythm, and the ship can move forward smoothly. At the same time, the chants are always sung in bright voice, a good tone, and a beautiful sound. Therefore, it is also an art.
However, with the development and popularity of modern ships, Chuanjiang Chants are likely to be forgotten by people, facing an endangered situation. Our country paid great attention to the protection of it and it was included in the first batch (批) of national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. Hope that more and more people can get the chance to know the wonderful culture.

The folk art form, kuaiban, which has a long history, can be performed by a group or a single person. With one or two pairs of bamboo clappers—a kind of traditional Chinese musical instrument in their hands, the performers tell stories in the local dialect(方言). These stories are usually folk tales or about social life.
Recently, Liu Jiming and Wan Yifu made and shared three short videos by using kuaiban which were viewed about 4 million times. As a result, Liu and Wan have gained more than 1million followers on the Internet. They’ve created many new works to raise people’s awareness. Some of their works are about the danger of drunken driving and food safety. They also write stories to show respect to people who make contributions, such as traffic policemen.
According to Liu and Wan, people can understand kuaiban pieces without difficulty. The stories told in kuaiban pieces are close to people’s daily lives. Thus, they consider that it is a fun way to introduce the Chinese folk culture through kuaiban. And what matters to them is that both young people and old people begin to know the charm of the art form, kuaiban, which may not be paid much attention to, compared to other traditional art forms.
Folk art forms, like xiangsheng, pingshu and kuaiban, share something in common. These traditional art forms show the beauty and value of traditional Chinese culture so they should be known by more people and get to more areas. Luckily, through the Internet, new performers who go on sharing kuaiban pieces, like Liu and Wan are playing an active role. Hopefully these Chinese folk art forms will be alive with the times.

Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events-love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real-life, stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more difficult to understand, it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music, sometimes called country-western, comes from the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern Unite States. Country music is also from traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1, 200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor Southerners is now popular all over the world.

Qi Xinghua（齐兴华）is a street artist. He describes himself as “China’s first 3-D artist”. He uses his skills to turn walls in Chinese cities into amazing works of art.
Qi started painting 3D street art in 2010. He is most famous for his work Lions Gate Gorge（《狮门峡谷》）, the world’s largest 3-D floor painting. Its 3-D effect is so strong that some people who stand on the painting even feel dizzy.
But most of Qi’s street art does not last long. He faces many difficulties. Sometimes, his paintings are covered by advertisements; other times, his work is not allowed by the local government because painting on public walls is not accepted. Once he painted a crocodile on a broken red-brick wall in Beijing. He spent one night making the wall more beautiful. “I hope to show that what’s broken can also be made interesting. A city needs its tattoos（文身）”, said Qi.
But a few days later, the crocodile was gone.
More time is needed before street art is accepted all over China. But right now, Qi does not want to give up his street art activities and he is hopeful about the future.

Pipa is one of the most popular traditional Chinese instruments. It first appeared in the Qin Dynasty in ancient China. And Pipa has a long history of over two thousand years.
The word “Pipa” came from two main skills needed to play the instrument. In Chinese expression, “Pi” means finger pushing, and “Pa” means finger pulling. In the Tang Dynasty, “Pipa” was used as a general name for all Chinese plucked string instruments (拨弦乐器). At the same time, Pipa was also introduced to other East Asian countries.
As to Pipa music works, most Chinese people will think of the classic Pipa work—Shimianmaifu (十面埋伏). It’s one of the top ten music works in ancient China. It’s really a piece of great music. “Sunny Spring and White Snow” is one of the several traditional Chinese pieces for Pipa. Some people say that the piece was made by Shi Kuang. However, other people say that the piece was made by Liu Juanzi. Now all we can know is that one of them made this famous piece of music. Now “Sunny Spring and White Snow” is also used to describe highbrow (高雅的) art forms such as classical music, painting and literature (文学).

Cinyee Chiu, an artist from Taiwan, is always happy to try something new. Her amazing works won lots of prizes. Among them, “24 Solar Terms(节气)” is the most popular.
Ancient Chinese divided a year into 24 parts according to the changes of the weather. It’s the 24 solar terms. But not everyone knows them well. Cinyee Chiu put the 24 solar terms in pictures to help people understand them better.
Cinyee turned each solar term into an animal. But these animals are not just animals. You can also find seasonal fruits, vegetables or beautiful flowers on them.
When spring comes, water gets warm and fish start to swim around. So Cinyee chose fish as a symbol of Start of Spring. Also, she drew spring vegetables, Chinese chives(香葱) on the back of the fish.
White Dew falls on about Sept. 8. It shows the beginning of the cool autumn. There are colorful leaves and cooler nights at this time of year.

Chuanjiang Chants (川江号子) is a form of folk singing performed by Chuanjiang boatmen in order to unify (使联合) their movements and rhythms (节奏). Chongqing and eastern Sichuan are the main birthplaces of the Chuanjiang Chants.
In the age of wooden boat shipping for thousands of years, the power (动力) of wooden boats on the river came from the body of the boatmen. Whenever they headed up against the river or when the boat crossed a shoal, the boatmen had to pull together. Moreover, the long journey was boring and boatmen needed something to relax, and the Chuanjiang Chants came into being.
Chuanjiang Chants are both technical and artistic. Boatmen control the direction of the boat just like a driver is responsible for that of a car. And chants are like the accelerator (油门) of a car, controlling the speed of the boat. Therefore, the chants can adjust (调整) the force of the boatmen through its rhythm, and the ship can move forward smoothly. At the same time, the chants are always sung in bright voice, a good tone, and a beautiful sound. Therefore, it is also an art.
However, with the development and popularity of modern ships, Chuanjiang Chants are likely to be forgotten by people, facing an endangered situation. Our country paid great attention to the protection of it and it was included in the first batch (批) of national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. Hope that more and more people can get the chance to know the wonderful culture.

The folk art form, kuaiban, which has a long history, can be performed by a group or a single person. With one or two pairs of bamboo clappers—a kind of traditional Chinese musical instrument in their hands, the performers tell stories in the local dialect(方言). These stories are usually folk tales or about social life.
Recently, Liu Jiming and Wan Yifu made and shared three short videos by using kuaiban which were viewed about 4 million times. As a result, Liu and Wan have gained more than 1million followers on the Internet. They’ve created many new works to raise people’s awareness. Some of their works are about the danger of drunken driving and food safety. They also write stories to show respect to people who make contributions, such as traffic policemen.
According to Liu and Wan, people can understand kuaiban pieces without difficulty. The stories told in kuaiban pieces are close to people’s daily lives. Thus, they consider that it is a fun way to introduce the Chinese folk culture through kuaiban. And what matters to them is that both young people and old people begin to know the charm of the art form, kuaiban, which may not be paid much attention to, compared to other traditional art forms.
Folk art forms, like xiangsheng, pingshu and kuaiban, share something in common. These traditional art forms show the beauty and value of traditional Chinese culture so they should be known by more people and get to more areas. Luckily, through the Internet, new performers who go on sharing kuaiban pieces, like Liu and Wan are playing an active role. Hopefully these Chinese folk art forms will be alive with the times.

Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events-love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real-life, stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more difficult to understand, it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music, sometimes called country-western, comes from the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern Unite States. Country music is also from traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1, 200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor Southerners is now popular all over the world.

Who created them The Xibo farmers. The Xibo, one of China’s 56 ethnic (民族的) groups, has a tradition of creating art on rice fields. In the past, the farmers just made use of different colors of rice plants to create their field art. But now their field art is becoming more and more delicate (精致的) thanks to new technology.

Qi Xinghua（齐兴华）is a street artist. He describes himself as “China’s first 3-D artist”. He uses his skills to turn walls in Chinese cities into amazing works of art.
Qi started painting 3D street art in 2010. He is most famous for his work Lions Gate Gorge（《狮门峡谷》）, the world’s largest 3-D floor painting. Its 3-D effect is so strong that some people who stand on the painting even feel dizzy.
But most of Qi’s street art does not last long. He faces many difficulties. Sometimes, his paintings are covered by advertisements; other times, his work is not allowed by the local government because painting on public walls is not accepted. Once he painted a crocodile on a broken red-brick wall in Beijing. He spent one night making the wall more beautiful. “I hope to show that what’s broken can also be made interesting. A city needs its tattoos（文身）”, said Qi.
But a few days later, the crocodile was gone.
More time is needed before street art is accepted all over China. But right now, Qi does not want to give up his street art activities and he is hopeful about the future.

Pipa is one of the most popular traditional Chinese instruments. It first appeared in the Qin Dynasty in ancient China. And Pipa has a long history of over two thousand years.
The word “Pipa” came from two main skills needed to play the instrument. In Chinese expression, “Pi” means finger pushing, and “Pa” means finger pulling. In the Tang Dynasty, “Pipa” was used as a general name for all Chinese plucked string instruments (拨弦乐器). At the same time, Pipa was also introduced to other East Asian countries.
As to Pipa music works, most Chinese people will think of the classic Pipa work—Shimianmaifu (十面埋伏). It’s one of the top ten music works in ancient China. It’s really a piece of great music. “Sunny Spring and White Snow” is one of the several traditional Chinese pieces for Pipa. Some people say that the piece was made by Shi Kuang. However, other people say that the piece was made by Liu Juanzi. Now all we can know is that one of them made this famous piece of music. Now “Sunny Spring and White Snow” is also used to describe highbrow (高雅的) art forms such as classical music, painting and literature (文学).

Cinyee Chiu, an artist from Taiwan, is always happy to try something new. Her amazing works won lots of prizes. Among them, “24 Solar Terms(节气)” is the most popular.
Ancient Chinese divided a year into 24 parts according to the changes of the weather. It’s the 24 solar terms. But not everyone knows them well. Cinyee Chiu put the 24 solar terms in pictures to help people understand them better.
Cinyee turned each solar term into an animal. But these animals are not just animals. You can also find seasonal fruits, vegetables or beautiful flowers on them.
When spring comes, water gets warm and fish start to swim around. So Cinyee chose fish as a symbol of Start of Spring. Also, she drew spring vegetables, Chinese chives(香葱) on the back of the fish.
White Dew falls on about Sept. 8. It shows the beginning of the cool autumn. There are colorful leaves and cooler nights at this time of year. As the temperature falls, white dew(露珠) is often seen on the grass and trees at night. For White Dew, Cinyee chose a raccoon — a small animal with thick hair. She drew white spots on the raccoon to show dew. And she used the dragon fruit to show the rich colors in autumn.
The young artist really gave the ancient Chinese culture a new look.
