Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the fundamental theory of the strong interaction, and it is described as an SU(Nc) gauge theory of quarks and gluons. In spite of the simple form of QCD action, QCD alone creates various interesting physical phenomena and thousands of different hadrons. In this chapter, after a brief overview of QCD physics, two important properties of nonperturbative QCD, that is, color confinement and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, are reviewed, including both the basics and recent progress. Quark confinement in various hadrons is investigated in terms of inter-quark potentials, using lattice QCD, the first-principles calculation of the strong interaction. As a result, the flux-tube (or string) picture is found to be widely applicable to quark confinement in mesons, baryons, and multi-quark hadrons in QCD. This chapter also deals with related interesting topics, such as a possible connection between QCD and the quark model, the dual superconductor picture for the confinement mechanism, and the relation between quark confinement and chiral symmetry breaking.
