Ancient Art Links - Chinese Landscape Paintings at the Metropolitan Museum (大都会博物馆中国山水画)
“Chinese Landscape Paintings at the Metropolitan Museum” explores China’s thousand-year-old tradition of landscape painting. Asian Art curator Joseph Scheier-Dolberg leads a guided tour through the galleries: Landscapes of Poetry, Landscapes of Magic, Landscapes of Reclusion, and more. The program takes advantage of modern technology to magnify the fascinating details, which otherwise would be missed by general viewers. These landscape treasures reflect the Daoism view of the world, that humans are tiny compared to the majesty of nature, and that only mountains and rivers last for eternity.
Ancient Art Links, a CUNY TV Digital Series, is a miniseries produced by Quan Ou, dedicated to exploring history via stories and profiles of ancient art treasures. The series of short films aims to bridge an information gap between members of the general public and art historians, and to become an entertaining and enlightening way to reflect on the past and the common links that join civilizations and humanity.

Song Dynasty
The Song dynasty came to power in China in 960 AD after a period of turmoil and civil wars in China. Emperor Taizu of Song led numerous military campaigns to unite the country and in the long years of Song rule that followed China achieved many great things. Paper currency, the magnetic compass and gunpowder were all used for the first time during the Song reign. In 1127 the Manchuruan Jin dynasty seized the northern frontier of the Song and forced the court to relocate, starting the period known as the Southern Song. The population grew rapidly which forced a change in economics and the Song emperors tried to make use of gunpowder to improve their military forces but after an extremely long reign, in 1271 the Song were conquered by the Mongol forces of Kublai Khan who was then proclaimed Emperor of China of the Yuan Dynasty. During the long years of Song rule the examination system became much more central, printing was improved, many scientific and engineering advances were made, Confucianist philosophy flourished and knowledge was expanded. The last nominal Song monarch, Emperor Bing, drowned himself rather than be taken prisoner after being defeated by the Mongols at the battle of Yamen.

Sam the tourguide song - G=Net Xi'An 2009
I didn't get the begining, but for those that were there, it should spark memories.
A BEAUTIFUL CHINESE SHOW IN XIAN,CHINA.
THE TANG DYNASTY SHOW,IS A PERFORMANCE OF CHANGAN MUSIC & DANCE,WHICH ORIGINATED IN CHINA'S TANG DYNASTY OVER 1000 YEARS AGO.I WATCHED THIS SHOW ON 18TH MAY 2018 AND WANTED TO SHARE WITH ALL.
Tang Dynasty theater xi'an
Ancient Chinese music and dance in a crowded dinner theater with music so loud the speakers were beyond their range and the music distorted and shrill.
For centuries, Xi'an, the ancient capital city of 13 dynasties from 1067 BC, has been renowned for its restoration of the Middle Kingdom's rich cultural heritage. It is the home of the famed terracotta warriors, ancient tombs of emperors long gone, 4,000 ruins and mausoleums and more than 120,000 remnants of art and architecture. It is China's natural museum of history.
And bringing this all together in the form of modern song and dance is the Tang Dynasty Theatre Restaurant, where visitors can sample this cultural experience in an ambience befitting the emperors of Tang (618-907 AD).
Tang music and dance not only inherit the songs and dance of the preceding dynasties but also assimilate the new and exotic cultures that came along the Silk Road. Xi'an was at the crossroads where travelers, merchants and indigenous minority tribes converged to trade within the Tang cultural predominance of this great ancient civilization. The Tang Dynasty was distinguished as the most progressive and prosperous era in the history of China and its music and dance symbolize the splendor and the glory of the Chinese civilization.
Traditional Chinese folk dances originate from sacrificial rituals, where rhythmic movements and prayers combined to appease the gods and progressed with the development of Chinese culture. It was during the flourishing Tang Dynasty that these dances became a graceful art form. Combined with authentic Tang musical instruments - bells, drums and zithers - the show is a cultural experience that is both extravagant and entertaining.
Years of painstaking practice allow our modern artists to reproduce our impression of the splendor and the glory of this great civilization. The Tang Dynasty Song and Dance Troupe consist of highly gifted and amazing artists who have received years of rigorous training in the arts. At each performance there are 104 artists presenting the show, which has become internationally renowned as the most accurate rendition of the richness of life in that golden age. Also, within the troupe are 30 master musicians who play various Chinese and western instruments, including the hand-plucked stringed Pi-Pa, Ruan,Gu-Zheng, Er-hu, Yang-qin, Di-zi, Sheng, Pai Xiao, 24 tone Bronze chime-bells, Suo-Na and a group of percussion instruments.
This performance - the Tang Cultural Show - may be in total contrast to the contemporary musicals of Broadway and Las Vegas, but is nevertheless hailed by visitors as the Lido of the Orient.
