Beauty in Common Things
Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life, such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.
According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by
Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble.
Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright
symbols of happiness and good wishes.
Paper cutting has been around for over
1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds
very easy but it can be difficult to do.
The paper, usually red, is folded
before it is cut with scissors.
The most common pictures are flowers, animals,
and things about Chinese history. During the
spring festival, they are put on windows, doors
and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck
and a happy new year.
Chinese clay art is famous because the clay
pieces are so small but they look very real. The
pieces are usually cute children or lively
characters from a Chinese fairy tale or
historical story. The pieces are carefully
shaped by hand from a very special kind of
clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.
