Traditional arts civilized a nation. Do you think government should
subsidize musicians, artists, actors or drama companies? What should a
government do?
Traditional arts, as valuable cultural relics of a nation, are disappearing
far away from the modern society. China, as one of the highly-civilized
countries in the world, abound in various forms of traditional arts, such as
painting, calligraphy, music, architecture and dramas, which are not only our
national cultural treasures, but also a rich fortune of the world. (58

As essence of a local culture, traditional arts reflect a nation’s artistic
talents and traditions. For example, water-color painting depicts a harmony
between people and nature. Architecture illustrates a nation’s aesthetic value
and religious belief. Cathedrals, highlighted by Gothic style in the Medieval,
represent Christianity. Pagodas, totally different from cathedrals
stylistically, are a symbol of Buddhism. Peking Opera describes the history of
our country. (65 words)
However, traditional arts are leaving contemporary people further and
further away, one of the main reasons for which is that the authorities
concerned and some institutes lack funds and professionals, which are quite
essential to the research and promotion of traditional culture. Another radical
reason should be attributed to the impact of western cultures on traditions.
Young people, especially youngsters, are addicted to western music like rock and
roll, without any knowledge about traditional musical instruments. With the
economic globalization, traditional culture and arts will be in the danger of
assimilation. How to maintain and develop traditional arts becomes the biggest
concern of a government. (105 words)
Firstly, the government should lay a fund for the research and promotion of
traditional arts. Secondly, the research institutes and universities should work
out a long-term developing scheme, organizing systematic research on traditional
arts. Arts belong to a nation and the whole world as well. The prosperity of
traditional arts will diversify the culture of the world. (57 words) |
