According to historical records, hair embroidery first appeared in Dongtai, Jiangsu Province, more than 1,300 years ago. Usually, hair embroidery requires more time and efforts to complete than other kinds of embroidery because higher skills are needed. Hair embroidery's designs are lively with many different kinds, including animals, plants, natural views and historical people. Fluffing cotton （弹棉花） Fluffing cotton is a traditional skill in China, even though it can hardly be seen in both city and countryside now. It used to be very popular work.

The fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made from all kinds of materials (材料). Palm leaf (棕榈叶) fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans showed the owner’s high status (地位). Sandalwood fans could send out a sweet smell. Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into artworks, in which tuanshan (round fans) and zheshan (folded fans) were the most common. Tuanshan is also called Wanshan or Gongshan. It’s a Chinese Traditional Handkcrat.

In the Tang Dynasty, Tuanshan as an accessory (配饰) was popular with ladies. Poets in ancient China often compared a woman’s abandoned fate (被抛弃的命运) to tuanshan. Nalan Xingde wrote during the Qing Dynasty, “If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans?” However, men, especially the literati (文人) used zheshan, or folded fans. The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to show off their talents in literature, painting and calligraphy (书法). Almost anything can be painted on zheshan, but the most popular ones usually featured landscapes (以风景画为特色). Today, Chinese people still use these fans, only not many write or paint on them any more.

One of the most famous traditional handicrafts is Chinese paper-cutting. Using just a pair of scissors and a piece of paper, skilled artisans can create delicate (精美的) patterns, from beautiful flowers and lively animals to vivid scenes of daily life. Paper-cutting is not only a decorative art but also has special meanings.

The production process of porcelain is complex, including steps such as clay preparation, shaping, glazing, and firing. Each step requires great skill and patience. Embroidery (刺绣) is also a remarkable traditional handicraft. There are several major embroidery styles in China, including Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Sichuan embroidery, and Guangdong embroidery. These styles have their own special features. Suzhou embroidery, for instance, is known for its fine stitches (针线) and elegant colors, often describing landscapes, flowers, and birds with a high level of realism.

Along the River During the Qingming Festival Walking into the China Pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, people were amazed by seeing a huge digital (数码的) painting. Scientists digitized the famous painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Chinese artist Zhang Zeduan. The original (原先的) painting shows life during the Northern Song period and it includes many details of ancient Chinese customs, lifestyles and technology. In the digital painting, a lot of these details are animated (做成动画). Farmers work in the fields, and sailors move around their boats and people eat and do business in restaurants. Parts of the background are also animated. You can see the wind blowing through the trees and across the water. These animations perfectly combine modern technology and ancient art. Digital technology allows today’s artists to express their ideas in ways that ancient artists would not believe possible. Techniques such as animation and 3D digital projection (投影) make art come alive. Dunhuang Cave Paintings Dunhuang Caves, which are protected ancient treasures in the Gobi Desert in Northwest China, are filled with paintings and sculptures (雕塑) with lasting value. This artwork was created over a period of around 1,000 years. The good news is for art lovers who cannot travel and for the caves.
