Art for Art's Sake | Clay figures are displayed at a Kunqu exhibition in the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing on May 4. Kunqu opera was developed during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and considered China's oldest operatic tradition. The 600-year-old art form was listed by UNESCO as a "Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" in 2001 (XINHUA) |
