CHINA is a country with a rich past and no less interesting present, which has given the world great scientists and philosophers, and many inventions. The memory of the glorious eras of great emperors, brave warriors and gray-haired sages is preserved in unique art and a great variety of historical, architectural and literary monuments that have survived centuries to the present day.

RELIGION Buddhism - Buddhism, which came from India and was the first unified religious system in China, preached the ideas of mercy, humility on earth and non-resistance to evil, and also promised salvation in paradise for all believers and the help of merciful gods - bodisattvas. Being the support of the feudal state, this teaching became extremely widespread already in the 5th-6th centuries, taking first place among the former religions of China, from which Buddhism borrowed many local features and old folk cults.

Taoism - One of the main directions of ancient Chinese philosophy; arose in the 4th-3rd centuries. BC e, the main treatises “Lao Tzu” and “Zhuang Tzu”. The main concept is Tao. At the center of the teachings of Taoism, opposed to Confucianism and Mohism, is a call for man to shake off the shackles of duty and duty and return to a life close to nature. RELIGION

Confucianism - Ethical and political teaching in China. The foundations of Confucianism were laid in the 6th century. BC by Confucius. Expressed the interests of the hereditary aristocracy. Confucianism declared the power of the ruler (sovereign) sacred, bestowed by heaven, and the division of people into superior and inferior (“noble men” and “little people”) as a universal law of justice. From the 2nd century. BC e and before the Xinhai Revolution of 1911 - 13, Confucianism was the official state ideology. RELIGION The Chinese called Confucius the Great Teacher. One of the legends about this thinker describes his conversation with a student: “This country is vast and densely populated. What is she lacking, teacher? - the student turns to him. “Enrich her,” the teacher replies. “But she’s already rich. How can we enrich it?” - asks the student. "Teach her!" - exclaims the teacher.

The artistic culture of China has absorbed the basic spiritual values ​​that developed in the teachings of Taoism and Confucianism. Closeness to nature, the desire for spiritual perfection, the search for harmony in every natural phenomenon - be it a flower, a tree, an animal - made it possible to form a completely unique aesthetic consciousness and artistic practice. ART CULTURE

The idea of ​​a harmonious combination of man and nature permeates Chinese art, from calligraphy to painting. Even writing in traditional Chinese culture is considered a special area of ​​\u200b\u200bethics and aesthetics. Chinese writing (hieroglyphs) combined the ethical and the aesthetic: the author’s state of mind was guessed from the originality of the writing, and even magical meaning was attached to stylized forms of writing - calligraphic inscriptions. And they were kept in every house. The hieroglyph acts as an ideal model of a work of art; it combines rigor and simplicity of form with depth and symbolism of content. ART CULTURE

PAINTING In a Chinese painting, every object is deeply symbolic, every tree, flower, animal or bird is a sign of a poetic image: a pine tree is a symbol of longevity, bamboo is a symbol of perseverance and happiness, a stork is a symbol of loneliness and holiness, etc. The shape of Chinese landscapes - an elongated scroll - helped to feel the immensity of space, to show not just some part of nature, but the integrity of the entire universe.

The traditional genre of Chinese painting is “guohua”. The paintings are painted in black or gray ink using a brush on paper or silk. In some cases, the master, with the help of just a few strokes of black ink of varying thickness, creates the general outlines of the landscape and human figures, without writing out the details. This direction is called “this”. Another direction, called “gongbi,” requires careful reproduction of the smallest details: the hairstyles of the people depicted, the plumage of birds, etc. PAINTING Ni Zan, “Trees and Valleys of the Mountain” by Zhao Mengfu.

Buddha Vairocana in the Longmen Cave Temples archi.1001chudo.ru/china The large statue of Buddha Vairocana in the Longmen Cave Temples stands out not only for its size. It is also valued as one of the highest examples of art from the Tang Dynasty. Buddha Vairocana sits in the open Fengxian Grotto. Perhaps the dimensions are intended to emphasize the greatness of Vairocana: the height of the statue is 17.4 meters, only the head of the Buddha is 4 meters, and the elongated ears are 1.9 meters. But the main thing about a statue is not its height. The Buddha is considered both the largest and most beautiful statue of the local cave temples, the pearl of Longmen.

The Terracotta Army was accidentally discovered in 1976 by peasants working the land. The place where underground crypts with terrorist figures of warriors were discovered, who, according to the plans of the then Chinese rulers, were supposed to serve Emperor Qinyihuang (259 - 210 BC) in the afterlife, is located 4 km away. east of Xi'an and at a distance of 1.5 km. from the burial mound of Qinshihuang. Arriving archaeologists discovered that life-size equestrian statues were “guarding” the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, who died in 210 BC and was famous for uniting the Chinese states into a single Celestial Empire and ordering the construction of the Great Wall of China. He also went down in history as one of the most cruel rulers of the world.

36 slide

All genres of ancient Chinese art carried a deep moral meaning and the idea of ​​human improvement, setting up a special perception: admiration for nature, its beauty and the work of the master. This is probably why the beauty of Chinese landscapes, with their special expressiveness and special symbolism, evokes admiration among Europeans and allows them to discover a different vision of the world, a different aesthetics.

ARCHITECTURE Over the five thousand-year history of Chinese civilization, many architectural structures have been preserved, many of which are rightfully considered world-class masterpieces. Their diversity and originality embody the traditions of antiquity and best achievements Chinese architecture. The vast majority of buildings in ancient China were built from wood. Whether it was a residential building or an imperial palace, first of all, wooden pillars were driven into the ground, which were connected at the top by beams. On this basis, the roof was then erected, which was subsequently covered with tiles. The openings between the pillars were filled with bricks, clay, bamboo or other material.

Slide 39

Chinese architecture has absorbed many foreign influences, but the stability of Chinese culture is expressed in the fact that all innovations are rethought within the framework of tradition and borrowed elements never look like that, but are perceived as originally Chinese. If in the official “imperial cities”, the last of which was the Forbidden City in Beijing, pomp and severity intertwined in symmetrical harmony prevailed, in the “summer palaces” grace and charm prevailed. If there were no hills and lakes, then they were created, regardless of cost, so that all forms of landscape were present to suit every taste. ARCHITECTURE
