Lesson Questions How have political changes affected the arts? What traditions remain strong in the arts? How do the Communists use the arts to teach values?

Old and New Traditions During the 1800’s and 1900’s, the Chinese absorbed ideas from the West that produced new traditions. –Adopted western approaches to science and technology After 1949, the Communists set out to reform the arts During the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards smashed temples, statues, and other works of art from the past –They did not destroy China’s ancient culture In the arts and sciences today, the Chinese are seeking to create a new identity that blends old and new traditions

Visual Arts The arts reflect how people see the world and their place in it Shang craft workers produced fine bronze vessels By the Tang Dynasty, Chinese artisans had perfected the art of making porcelain Chinese porcelains were in great demand as articles of trade In traditional China, painting was an art of the gentry class Chinese landscape paintings reflected Daoist ideas Under western influence, Chinese artists began to paint scenes that included realistic human figures Modern Chinese artists use symbols from the past and the present –Red has long been a symbol of joy in China
