 Chinese art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chinese art is art, whether modern or ancient, that originated in or is practiced in China or by Chinese artists or performers.
Chinese painting and calligraphy - In imperial times, painting and calligraphy were the most highly appreciated arts in court circles.
Chinese folk arts - Chinese folk arts include puppetry and quyi, which consists of various kinds of storytelling and comic monologues and dialogues, often to the accompaniment of clappers, drums, or stringed instruments.

 Chinese poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shi Jing (literally "Classic of Poetry", also called "Book of Songs") was the first major collection of Chinese poems, collecting both aristocratic poems (Odes) and more rustic poetry, probably derived from folksongs (Songs).
Finally, this period saw the rise of vernacular literature, particularly drama and novels, which increasingly became the main means of cultural expression.
From the second century AD, the yue fu began to develop into shi or classical poetry- the form which was to dominate Chinese poetry until the modern era.

 Chinese Poetry after Mao, by Julia Lovell
The Westernised style of new poetry introduced during China's modern literary revolution of the 1910s-1920s was shunned in favour of proletarian Folk Song forms.
In many of the survivors of the cult of poetry, however, aversion to these two post-1989 constraints - the Western enthusiasm for political exotica, on the one hand, and the pressures of a commodity economy, on the other - has given rise to a poetry of increased obscurity and opaqueness.
This new, experimental poetry represented an obvious challenge to the orthodox Communist model, thanks to the poets' open acknowledgement of Western influences, and emphasis on the personal, private, and individual over the political, public, and collective.

 Modern Chinese Poetry
Professor Iwasa Masaaki of Kyþshþ University, one of Japan's leading authorities on modern Chinese poetry, attempted to describe part of that poetry's identity in terms of a "Light/Darkness Model", concentrating on a typical form of imagery to be found in many 20th century Chinese poems.
If the theme of identity and modernity was related to the position of Chinese poetry in the world, the second group of papers treated "the world in the poem", discussing all that can be unearthed by taking a close look at the texts itself.
One of the first book-length studies of modern Chinese poetry was Lloyd Haft's Pien Chih-lin: a study in modern Chinese poetry (Dordrecht: Foris, 1983), while Volume III: The Poem of A Selective Guide to Chinese Literature 1900-1949 (Leiden etc.: Brill, 1989), edited by Haft, is one of the major reference works in the field.

 An introduction to Chinese literature
The greatest Chinese poetry was created during the Tang (Tang) dynasty (618-907), a period of general peace and prosperity ending in a decline.
These songs and poems give a colorful picture of the life and manners of the Chinese feudal nobility, just as the folk poems depict the simple and yet bountiful life of the peasantry.
This decline in the literary tradition continued until the beginning of the 20th century, when it became obvious to Chinese writers that they had to seek new inspiration.

 Classical Chinese Poetry
Chinese culture, influenced by the anonymity of the Shih Ching, had a tendency to think of poems as something written by common humanity for the eyes of other humans.
This treasury of traditional songs is the oldest collection of poems in world literature, and it became one of the Five Confucian Classics.
Confucius stated that this xing is the purpose of poetry, that the point of a poem was to make the mind contemplate its subject deeply.

 Chinese Poetry and the American Imagination
Whatever we name this transformation, the impact of those translations was monumental and the influence of Chinese poetry on Western poets proved to be permanent.
whenever, historically, poetry in English moves beyond a certain norm into too inflated a rhetoric, the reversal comes, and then we have a period such as we have in the 18th century, a very neo-classic style, to correct that impulse.
Among the conclusions presented at the conference was that the principal poetic norm which Pound and Waley had been born into was that of Romanticism, with its overly "inflated rhetoric" and extravagant decorative style.

 Chinese Cultural Studies: Selections of Chinese Poetry
Chinese poets and artists concentrate heavily on the beauties of nature, but ordinary life went on in the T'ang Dynasty as in most places and times.
Despite the fact that Chinese civilization has not generally provided much freedom or status for women, clearly many men loved their wives dearly, for they said so in poems like this lament of a bereaved husband.
In China it was believed that the spirits of the departed continued to surround the living; so his experience is in no way unusual.
