The Beauty of Chinese Culture and History
In the brilliant constellation of world civilizations, Chinese culture and history are like the most dazzling pearl, exuding a unique and intoxicating radiance.
From the ancient oracle bone inscriptions to the square and majestic Chinese characters today, every stroke bears the marks of time. They are the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors, carrying the transmission of information for thousands of years. Through these characters, we can transcend time and space to communicate with the ancients, appreciate the romantic feelings of "Guan Guan Ju Jiu, zai he zhi zhou" in The Book of Songs, and experience the magnificent historical events in Records of the Grand Historian.
Traditional techniques are vivid illustrations of Chinese culture and history. Exquisite ceramics, which transform from clay into artworks, with their delicate texture and gorgeous colors, are sold overseas and have become a business card for the world to understand China. Embroidery techniques such as Shu Embroidery and Su Embroidery bring flowers, birds, fish, and insects to life with the flying needles and threads. They embroider the gentleness and agility of the Jiangnan water towns and also embroider the Chinese nation's ultimate pursuit of beauty.
The thoughts of the Hundred Schools of Thought are the treasures of Chinese culture and history. Confucianism advocates "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith", shaping the moral principles and philosophy of life of the Chinese people. Taoism's "following the way of nature" teaches us to conform to the laws and pursue inner peace. The strict laws of Legalism provide the cornerstone for the stability of social order. These thoughts have collided and integrated in the long river of history, influencing the way of thinking and behavior of generations of Chinese people.
Ancient architecture, melodious operas, and rich folk festivals... all tell the beauty of Chinese culture and history. It is profound and heavy, yet full of vitality. This beauty attracts the attention of the whole world and also inspires us to continuously inherit and carry it forward, so that the light of Chinese culture and history will always shine brightly.
