As a part of Chu territory in the history, Gan area in Jiangxi province has been influenced greatly by Chu culture. And some distinct characteristics of “Chu culture” are reflected in the folk art of Gan area nowadays. Just like Chu culture, Gan area’s folk art emphasizes the thought of “harmony between man and nature”, and folk “sorcery” has also been a common part in people’s daily life. Moreover, the folk art advocates integrated open compatibility consciousness and patriotic and militarism. Besides, People adore red and love Dragon-Phoenix pattern. Finally, Lacquerware and bronze ware articles are often found in Gan area in Jiangxi province. Therefore, today's Gan folk art development is inseparable from the influence of Chu culture.
