Liulichang is known throughout China and the world for its ancient books, calligraphy, paintings, rubbings, ink stones and ink. The street, which is only 750 meters long, is located south of the Peace Gate of Xuanwu District in Beijing. During the time of Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) and Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), a colored glaze factory (Liuli Chang in Chinese) was in production there, which made glazed tiles for the palaces, temples and residences of the officials, hence the name. In Ming and Qing times, Liulichang was a favorite haunt for scholars, painters and calligraphers that gathered there to write, compile and purchase books, as well as to paint and compose poetry. By the Kangxi period (1661-1722), Liulichang had become a flourishing cultural center and was described as having "homes and buildings lined up like fish scales." During the Qianlong period (1736-1796), the street was even more prosperous. There one could find "rooms filed to the roof beams with all kinds of books," "a street filled with treasures and trinkets," and the "quintessence of all the markets in the capital concentrated in one street." In 1979, the State Council approved a recommendation to restore and expand Liulichang. The original shops have been restored and the road broadened into a 15-meter-wide pedestrian mall. A museum displaying classical paintings, calligraphy and other antiquities tells the story of the old street. Located at the western end of Liulichang Street, Beijing, Rongbaozhai (the "Studio of Glorious Treasures") is famous for both its collection of calligraphy and paintings that spans centuries, and its excellent array of the "four treasures of the study" (brushes, ink, paper and ink stones). It grew out of Songzhuzhai and was renamed Rongbaozhai in the 10th year of Emperor Guangxu reign in the Qing Dynasty (1894). This was the place where the Chinese calligraphers and painters used to gather together and communicated with one another. The craftsmanship of Rongbaozhai wood-block painting is widely known both in China and abroad. Its master workers at the workshops are the best in the trade of art. This Chinese traditional method of wood-block painting is so unique that no other methods of printing are comparable to it. In the past several dozens years, on the basis of the traditional technique, Rongbaozhai had constantly made improvement and innovation, achieving new results. The studio is not only capable of printing small articles such as poetry tips, but also complicated technological works such as silk paintings and huge-size vertical scrolls. The replications were often taken as genuine works. Lu Xun and Zheng Zhenduo regarded Rongbaozhai as the most outstanding one of all the paper stores in Liulichang Street. Nowadays, Rongbaozhai has collected a lot of genuine works of the ancient as well as the contemporary calligraphers and painters or their wood-block printings of Chinese calligraphy and paintings. Besides, the studio also provides four treasures of the study, as well as mounting, processing and repairing services for the convenience of the calligraphers and painters, thus making important contributions to promoting the art market of Chinese calligraphy and painting as well as to enhancing international interflow of culture. Beijing opera, or Peking opera (Jingju 京剧), is well-known throughout the national capital. Commonly lauded as one of the highest achievements of Chinese culture, Beijing opera is performed through a combination of song, spoken dialogue, and codified action sequences, such as gestures, movement, fighting and acrobatics. Much of Beijing opera is carried out in an archaic stage dialect quite different from modern Standard Mandarin and from the Beijing dialect. In Beijing, we will arrange not only enjoy the great performance of Beijing Opera, but also a quite interesting visiting to Beijing Opera School where you could learn a completely picture of this traditional art of the nation. Beijing Snacks, a type of Beijing Cuisine, is a product of nation-wide snacks. The Beijing snacks reached its peak with over three hundred kinds, but unfortunately less than one hundred of them have survived until today. Compared with its golden age, the snacks have declined in kinds; even so, the snacks are of a great variety. The snacks can be divided into three groups: the Islamic style, the Han style, and Imperial style. Now nearly eighty percent of the snacks are of Islamic styles. Huguo Temple Snack Restaurant is one of the representatives of Beijing local snack. It is well known for rich variety, outstanding features and deep culture in it. Over 80 local snacks, which are popular among people from Beijing and all over the country as well as foreign guests, such as Stuffed Glutinous Rice Flour Ball, Glutinous Rice Flour Roll with Red Bean Paste and Soy Bean Flour, Pea Flour Cake, Fried Dough Twist, Fried Glutinous Rice Balls with Sesame, Fried Doughnut, Flour Tea, Gut Soup, Fermented Soya Milk, and more, could be found here. The cloisonné (or Jingtailan, literally "Blue of Jingtai") metalworking technique and tradition is a specialty of Beijing's cultural art, and is one of the most revered traditional crafts in China. Cloisonné making requires elaborate and complicated processes which includes: base-hammering, copper-strip inlay, soldering, enamel-filling, enamel-firing, surface polishing and gilding. Beijing's lacquerware is also well known for its sophisticated and intrinsic patterns and images carved into its surface, and the various decoration techniques of lacquer includes "carved lacquer" and "engraved gold". Shadow play is a special drama rooted in China. It is a kind of performing art with manifold arias and genres. As an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment, it uses opaque, often articulated figures in front of an illuminated backdrop to create the illusion of moving images. Shadow puppets today are made of leather instead of wood because leather is lighter, easier to manipulate and less difficult to carry. The puppets are painted with colors representing different human qualities - kindness, wickedness, beauty or ugliness. During performances, the "actors", controlled by guiding sticks, are held close to a white curtain, and their colored shadows are cast on the cloth by a powerful light. Behind the curtain the performers manipulate the silhouettes to act, accompanied by songs, music or dialogues. Beijing Shadow Play is quite famous in the nation. We will arrange the particular workshop for client to have a close look, learn and try on this old fashion art. Beijing is the capital of China and also the center of education of the whole nation. In the recent years, great achievement and development many schools have gained. In order to create more chances for schools to have further understanding, we always try our best to arrange kinds of vocational school visiting and also the regular school visiting. We love to set up more “Bridges” for schools and children.
