China is the only country in the world with a literature written in one language for more than 3,000 years. This results largely from the nature of the written language itself. China has a very old and rich tradition in literature,drama and visual arts.Early writings generally originated from philosophical or religious essays such as the works of Confucius and LaoTzu.In addition to philosophical,religious and historical writings,China also produced poetry, novels, and dramas from an early date.Poetry became well established as a literary form during the Tang Dynasty. Drama is another old and important literary form.Chinese drama usually integrates local language with music and song and thus has been popular with the common people.
