the first associations that arise in you when it comes to china. the great wall of china, unique porcelain, traditional chinese painting and calligraphy, weira, tea. in the city in minsk at the address revolutsionnaya 11 there is a unique building, an educational center and a bearer of traditional chinese culture, the republican institute of sinology named after confucius of the belarusian. state university, and today we will touch this culture, taste the mysteries of the tea ceremony, learn all the subtleties of traditional chinese painting and calligraphy. with you, alina nivoina, and this is the project fashion for culture. the culture of china is one of the most ancient and original cultures in the world. it was china that became the birthplace of such philosophical. such as taoism and confucianism.

chinese culture has long been a model for imitation among neighboring countries. japan, korea, vietnam and many others. ruts and educates the spirit. it is not for nothing that so much attention was paid to this art in ancient china. officials took a mandatory exam in calligraphy and even emperors diligently practiced writing hieroglyphs. plus, learning

calligraphy is a separate developmental practice. the lessons will be useful for those who are engaged in oriental painting, because these two art forms are inextricably linked. they. rely on common principles and techniques, and a rare chinese painting can do without a beautiful calligraphic inscription, the harmony of yin and yang energy, the symbolism and spiritual meaning of the drawing, the connection with calligraphy and the dominant position of the exquisite line, this is what chinese painting and calligraphy are. ekaterina, good afternoon, good afternoon, alina, you are belarusian by nationality, but you teach? traditional chinese painting and calligraphy, how did it happen, tell us about your path. i am not an artist by education, i have a completely different education, economics and technology, that was my first education. probably, such a deep passion began precisely with

the subject of philosophy, which we had at the institute, namely, eastern teachings, there is confucius, loudza's part, then it was just a time when... many such books appeared and this mysterious world, which encouraged such attentive listening to attentive looking at the surrounding things, that's when, probably, it fascinated me, then i accidentally got to a master class on chinese painting and i realized that this is what i would like to do, that it helps me express myself and be in such a... very deep connection with the world around me, traditional chinese painting, what is it like? it is different, despite the fact that it is quite ancient, yes, after all, the chinese gave our civilization a brush and paper, it has its own tools, its own completely

unique brushes, here they are with me, my main assistants in chinese painting rice paper is used, this is really what makes these... works so transparent and also create such a tone of understatement, this is the main difference, probably, from a technical point of view, yes from our european painting, but first of all , all chinese paintings have a positive meaning, they are philosophical and they are distinguished by what the artist puts there, there is not a single such unnecessary detail, one of the rules of chinese painting is, among other things , following. it is precisely due to this tradition of numerous copying of ancient masters that it is believed that the better you succeeded copy an older master, the more he told you about that path, about that following of dau, which was during his

life, yes, it is believed that we have lost everything, but we are trying to find it, dispel such an existing myth that chinese painting is only flowers. first of all, these were some everyday themes, but at the moment it exists precisely in the style of flowers and birds, that is, as a rule, there are not only birds, there are also some living creatures, this is a portrait, this is a landscape, an animalistic genre. in chinese painting there are two main styles, these are gunbi and sei, tell us more about each of them. the gumbi style, here, probably, from these works... is set by this work, such a contour work, this is the goddess guanen, this style is distinguished by such decorativeness, one can say, detail, translated from chinese bumbi is a careful brush, the master, precisely due to such refined mastery of the brush, he

conveys in more detail what he wants to express, this painting, it originated and somewhere at the same time, that is, its the founder is the artist... the si style - this is translated from chinese as writing an idea, here the artist did not need to convey everything in a documentary manner, to convey the color as it exists, although in gonbi painting too, the use of a palette also differs from european painting, but the si style implies precisely the capture of not the form of the object itself, precisely that... as if, what drives it, precisely its living essence, such spirituality of what

is depicted, that is, you just need to convey the most important thing, that is , in fact, with minimal movements and minimal means to create such maximum expressiveness, in china there are still many that unite these styles, of course, chinese paints, in that style uses paints of such a mineral nature. chinese painting and probably it is impossible not to say this, because it is believed that it is the shades of ink that are more capable than color of conveying this depth of the world around us. let's talk about calligraphy, what are its features? in our culture too there is calligraphy, of course, yes, but chinese calligraphy is a separate, of course, art form, and there are still even disputes about which

chinese painting or calligraphy appeared first, chinese calligraphy is precisely such an expression of the artist's impression of the inscription itself, yes , chinese hieroglyphs, they are actually like living beings, it is by using this that you can give a completely amazing and unique impression of your calligraphy in... voicing what you already have.

in chinese painting there is a concept of the four treasures of the scholar's office, this is a brush, this is rice paper, this is ink. the brush, look, is taken by our big middle finger, yeah, maybe take it lower, by the big middle finger. in china, it is generally believed that an artist simply passes through himself this world of heaven and earth, yang and yin. so, we dip the entire cues, we will paint with you entirely with a brush, then we can take a little ink from here and transfer it to a plate. we continue to add water here, you see, this is already more light shade, we put the brush

like this, so that - the bristles are parallel to our body, we put the brush and move, look, like this, from point to point, we subtract from point to point, now we take, yeah, black on the tip and now we work with the very tip, now we hold the brush with the tip up, that is, we hold it vertically, this allows us to control the pressure on the branches, look, the branches of the bamboo grow from these compositions, do all the movements on the exhale, then you will - be in the rhythm of what you are depicting. bamboo leaves, look, they are written with a twist of the wrist, yeah, look, they can be larger, they can be... smaller, they don't necessarily need to be attached to a branch, because everything in

nature moves, sways. often in the hustle and bustle of everyday life we ​​don't pay attention to the things that surround us, they seem ordinary and uninteresting to us. for example, tea drinking. today tea is a very ordinary drink for each of us. it would seem that there could be anything unusual about it, in the east tea is served treat as a... drink. in china, which is considered the birthplace of tea, there is a whole culture of drinking this drink. the chinese drink tea slowly, observing certain rituals. chinese tea drinking is a special philosophy: drinking tea on the go or in a hurry is almost a crime, for example, different types of tea cannot be brewed in the same teapot, if you prefer black tea, you should choose a transparent teapot made of heat-resistant glass, and to preserve the full flavor of white tea, you need

to use a ceramic teapot, such there are hundreds of secrets: each sor... requires a special attitude of undivided attention to its person, what other secrets does this ancient ceremony conceal, we will find out from the teacher of the republican institute of sinology named after confucius, belarusian state university, gao wanzhou. look, residents of big cities, they are constantly in a hurry and... always need to run somewhere, here is the traditional chinese tea ceremony, it is so measured, calm, tell us, what is the philosophy of the traditional tea ceremony? philosophy, traditional chinese tea ceremony is based on the principles of tawizm, tawizm believes that tea has calming properties, silence and

lightness are human. nature, they are very well combined in the tea ceremony, so the concept of the unity of nature and man became the soul of the chinese tea ceremony, tea was made into a real ritual, yes, the tea ceremony, that's how it came to china, the tea ceremony first arose in china, during the tha dynasty. yeah, and its founders are lui. tea parties were very popular. what types of tea ceremonies are there? types of tea ceremonies, they have many types, and are quite complex, here are different teas and, require different brewing methods.

during the tea ceremony it is very... quiet, you do not even notice how time passes, and during the tasting of tea, we also communicate with the people next to us. the tea ceremony includes philosophical thoughts and human relationships. we focus on getting pleasure from the process. and drinking tea is one of. i know that in order to, for a tea ceremony to take place, special utensils are needed, tell us more about this, for a tea ceremony, special utensils are needed, a teapot, and a cup for smelling, a cup for tasting, and also auxiliary tools, usually - cha,

chatya, chato. and a cup. tea ceremony for everyone who is interested in chinese tea culture. there is no single school of tea ceremony in china, but there are basic principles on which this practice is based, aesthetics, balance, harmony, cordiality and purity. the ceremony helps to reveal taste in a new way tea, touch the tradition and harmonize. inner state, you learn to be here now, in the present moment. we have considered only a small part of traditional chinese culture, but we are already firmly convinced that the interpenetration of the cultures of china and belarus has been going on for a long time. we have something to learn from the inhabitants of the celestial empire

about peace, spiritual harmony and them, our diligence, love for '. and hospitality, but i know for sure that we all need to learn to live here now, be in the present moment and follow the fashion trends in the cultural life of our country, alina nevoina was with you , remember, being cultured is fashionable, see you in exactly one week, until new cultural meetings.
