Press Release Body = Chinese folk art is an important part of the country\'s
extremely rich cultural and art heritage. Chinese folk art has won recognition and
praise from experts both at home and abroad for its great variety, sincere rural
content, rich flavor of life, distinctive local style, and its artistic approaches
of romanticism.

The folk artist is at his best in understanding and depicting life in its wholeness,
and apt to show its rhythms and melodies. He relies on his intuition, impressions
and memories, as well as his experience and understanding of life to grasp the
essence of the phenomena or objects he depicts, thus making the artistic images
quite different from their original models. In artistic representation and
expression, works of folk art are straightforward, natural, flexible, free from
affectedness, vivid and intimate. They reside, in roundabout ways, ideas in
particular images, reason in emotion, and feelings in concrete forms. Ingenuity is
found in simplicity, exquisiteness in crudeness, and humor in clumsiness. Folk
artists also use decorative, figurative, allegoric and symbolic methods with magical
deftness. Since ancient times, Chinese folk art has been seeking to understand and
present the lofty spirit of the Chinese nation. It has given expression to the
indomitable morale and character of the Chinese people shown in their constant
efforts to open up new paths for development.

Like a galaxy of brilliant gems, folk art embraces all aspects of daily life and is
loved by the masses. The materials that most commonly used are the ordinary natural
substances that come readily to hand. Folk artists are familiar with the aesthetic
habits of the people, and their feel of life is based on the aesthetic experiences
of the masses. In creating art forms, they are guided by their mind, reason and
aesthetic rules. Some of their works seem to be crudely made, but they show great
ingenuity, originality, simplicity and purity, which implies a profound philosophy
of art. Works of folk art afford people not only aesthetic enjoyment and amusement,
but also knowledge and education.

Love is the motive force of aesthetic appreciation, and the motive force of creation
of the beautiful. Folk artists have been under the edifying influence of folk art
since their early childhood, and a seed of beauty was planted in their hearts when
they became apprentices to elder folk artists. Their love for the beautiful is
eternal.

Crafts, the largest category of folk art, perfectly combines the material and
spiritual life of the people because they have both utilitarian and aesthetic value.
Folk art is born of heart. It is not something that has become rigidly fixed;
instead, it steadily develops as it tries to meet people\'s need for appreciation of
the beautiful. As a form of the traditional Chinese art, folk art is an intermixture
of the aesthetic psychology of society and the aesthetic psychology of the artists,
which externalizes itself through palpable media. It will develop with history,
society and people\'s life.
