The ideal rural lifestyle reflected in the art and literature is a great characteristic in Chinese civilization. It is largely attributed to the Taoism affection to nature。
There are two most preferred topics in traditional Chinese paintings. One kind depicts various happy scenes of family life in which the elderly play chess and drink tea, young men farm and harvest in the field, women weave or sew clothes and kids play in the outside. The other depicts the recreations of rural life. In these paintings, fishermen fish on the lake, farmers hew or collect herbs on the hills and scholars compose poems or paintings under pine trees. These two themes respectively represent the ideal life of Confucianism and Taoism。
云贵高原（the Yunnan-Guizhou plateau）大部分位于云南，贵州省境内，总面积约50万平方公里，平均海拔2000-4000 米，是中国第四大高原。云贵高原西高东低，河流众多，形成了许多又深又陡的峡谷（canyon）。峡谷中许多地方土壤肥沃，非常有利于多钟农作物生长。
云贵高原独特的自然环境造就了生物和文化的多样性。它是中国森林和矿产资源类型十分丰富的地区，也是古人类起源的重要地区。云贵高原是中国少数民族数量最多的地区，各民族都保留了自己丰富多彩的文化传统。
The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, located mostly in Yunan Prov-ince and Guizhou Province, is the fourth largest plateau in China which covers a total area of 0.5 million square kilome-tres and rises 2,000-4,000 metres above the sea level on average. The plateau slopes from the west to the east with many rivers flowing through, gradually forming a lot of steep canyons where there are fertile lands which benefit the growth of many crops.
The unique natural environment of the plateau contributes to great biological and cultural diversity. It is well recog-nized as both an area rich in forest and mineral resources and an important human cradle. It is also the region with the most minority peoples in China, where their colourful cultural traditions are well preserved.
