Chinese Arts: The Chinese traditional arts represent the country's rich heritage. Notable Chinese arts were prevalent since the Neolithic period. In those times, jade and pottery formed the basis of Chinese arts. Bronze was introduced only in the Shang dynasty. Chinese porcelain (a form of ceramic ware), which is famous worldwide was used during the Imperial era. The Yuan dynasty is a remarkable phase of Chinese culture, marked by great paintings of Zhao Mengfu and beginning of Chinese opera. With the advent of Imperial era, performing arts like theater and dances were introduced in China.
Chinese Architecture: Ancient Chinese architecture is the most magnificent and splendid aspect of Chinese culture. One architectural wonder is the Great Wall of China that was completed during the Ming dynasty. The Imperial Mausoleum (built by thousands of architects), another such feature, are monuments built at the burial site of the emperors. They are usually built on the sides of hills and mountains. Emperors from different ruling dynasties built varied styles of imperial palaces. These palaces are examples of architectural excellence. Since, the number nine was regarded lucky; the architecture was designed in such a way that the palaces had nine sections; the size of each section was in multiples of nine. Dragon (Long) and Phoenix (Feng) are very important in Chinese mythology. The palaces and walls were carved with symbols of the dragon, believed to be a representation of the emperors.
