LITERATURE+and+THEATRE

=Chinese Literature and Theater = By Michael K. and Robert H.

=Chinese literature =   Did you know that china is the only country that has written its literature in a single language for over 3,000 years in a row? Literature is everywhere, and it is especially important to China. Chinese literature is an important because it shows who the people are, it is one of the oldest parts of china, and it still is around today. Chinese literature is some of the best in the world.  You can see that Chinese literature reflects the people like a mirror. It is clear because as society changes, the literature changes. “During periods of social and political upheav al, from the 3rd to the 7th century, poets found refuge and consolation in nature” (Chinese Literature). During troubled times, people did not want to think about the troubles, so the literature was not about these problems. Another famous example is during Mao’s regime. During this time, there was very little education, so many became illiterate. Soon, even before the banning of literature, the trading of books declined with the education. Literature is also one of oldest aspects of China. In fact, “China is the only country in the world with a literature written in one language for more than 3,000 consecutive years” (**Chinese Cultural Studies). So, not only is it one of the oldest aspects of Chinese culture, it is one of the oldest literatures in the world.** ** Chinese literature has survived so long, which leads up to my final point. One of the main reasons that Chinese literature is important is that it has survived to this day. “Nowadays [Chinese] l ** ** iterature prospers” ( ** Chinese Literature, Literary Works, Development Periods). Today, literature still grows. A fair amount of the other parts of the culture have died out, such as foot binding. Nevertheless, literature grows. It is like a growing tree with its roots firmly planted. It now has a secured foothold in China, which it also has with many other countries. In conclusion, literature is known to all, and it is especially important in China. Because Chinese literature reflects who the people are, is very old, and still is around today; it is an important aspect of China. Literature affects everyone who reads, in particularly Chinese.
