As we all know, Chinese culture has a long history, from the rule of the Three Emperors, the Division of the Five Emperors, to the present has a glorious course of thousands of years. In the long river of history, the wise ancients have left us extremely rich achievements in civilization, and for those who are full of the essence of Chinese culture, we call it the "national essence". So, how many of the "Ten National Essences" left by the ancestors can you name? Today, let's take a look at five of them.
1. Martial arts
Simply put, martial arts are the art of "martial arts.". So, what is "wu"? We only need to look at this "wu" word, it is not difficult to understand - stop the war for the martial. Ge, weapons, also, extended to the meaning of invasion, attack, war, that is, "war", then "stop the war", obviously means to stop the conquest. Chinese has always believed that the most basic purpose of martial arts is to exercise physical fitness, strengthen the body, and resist external intrusions to ensure safety, rather than being a means of aggression, which also reflects the desire of Chinese people to pursue peace and love peace.
2. Tea ceremony
The tea ceremony is a kind of life art with cooking and drinking tea as the content, and it is also a kind of life etiquette with tea as the medium, of course, it is also one of the ways for a person to cultivate his self-cultivation. Drinking tea in short answers naturally does not deserve the word "tea ceremony", and drinking tea that gives cultural connotations can be called "tea ceremony". The origin of the tea ceremony is also very early, according to the relevant historical records, at least in the Tang Dynasty, even before the Tang Dynasty, there was already a tea ceremony, the author of the "Tea Classic", the famous "tea saint" Lu Yu, is a Tang Dynasty person.
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine, also known as "national medicine", is the traditional medicine of the Chinese nation, which can be traced back to primitive society and the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, forming a basic theoretical system. Before the introduction of "Western medicine" to China, it was Chinese medicine that was related to people's lives and health, so Chinese medicine had the broadest mass base, after all, it concerned every family and everyone. Chinese medicine has long been deeply rooted in the minds of Chinese people, and to this day, even if we do not understand Chinese medicine, even if we have never treated diseases through Chinese medicine, we are still very familiar with Chinese medicine words such as "acupuncture", "soup medicine", "pulse image", especially the four words of "looking, hearing, asking and cutting", I am afraid that there is no one who does not know.
4. Peking Opera
Peking Opera, also known as "Beijing Opera", "Ping Opera", etc., it is centered on Beijing and spreads throughout the country, and is the most influential opera genre in the mainland, and is called "National Opera". Not only in our country, but also in the world, Peking Opera also occupies a considerable weight, for example, in the "world's three major performance systems", there is our Peking Opera.
5. Calligraphy
Calligraphy is an artistic expression of the beauty of words, a traditional art unique to Chinese characters. Although there are also so-called calligraphy in English, Arabic, Mongolian, etc., in any case, they do not have the ethereal and flexible feeling of Chinese character calligraphy. We are also also well aware that Chinese character calligraphy is also divided into a variety of forms from the perspective of calligraphy, such as seal calligraphy, Lishu, Xingshu, Calligraphy, Cursive, etc.; if you look at it from the type of pen used, it can be divided into brush calligraphy, pen calligraphy, and even chalk calligraphy. There is no doubt that at any time, if a person can write well, he will definitely give people a sense of talent.
The above is the martial arts, tea ceremony, Chinese medicine, Peking Opera, and calligraphy in the "Ten National Essences", we will talk about these five national essences for the time being, as for the remaining five national essences, we will continue to talk next time.
