Whether ancient or modern, there are obvious differences between Chinese and foreign art. China traditional culture shows its own unique artistic features in terms of music, architecture, painting and dance. But they are also integrated, and in differences, they are more closely linked.

I think the factors of Chinese and western culture, especially Chinese and western ethics and morals, are more prominent, which directly affect the choice of their own aesthetic artistic conception and angle. From the development track of Chinese and western civilizations, we can see that Chinese and foreign cultures have different characteristics due to different regions, times and cultural backgrounds.

It is a fixed classification of artistic styles associated with cultural and historical interpretation.

Western art, especially the art of the Renaissance, pays more and more attention to people-oriented, various architectural modeling styles with human dimensions, such as portrait sculpture and portrait painting, and regards human beauty as the fundamental basis of most works of art. China ancient art pays more attention to self-cultivation and unremitting pursuit of elegant artistic conception. With its free and diverse line movement and structure, it shows the writer's self-emotion, and combines with the surrounding environment to enhance a new and higher artistic conception.

Therefore, the differences between Chinese and foreign art reflect the differences between Chinese and western ethics. Western culture pays attention to natural human rights, emphasizes individual standard, pursues independent personality and liberates personality; China's ancient art reflects China people's self-discipline and introspective cultural view from the collective standard, and then forms a unique national cultural tradition in the western world.

I will simply use sculpture art to discuss Chinese and foreign art. There are few pure sculptures in ancient China, which is the main reason why most people don't attach importance to the ancient sculptures in China. Western sculpture originated in ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks attached importance to the human body and shaped God into a perfect human being. The system, culture, philosophy and religion of China ancient society also formed a far-reaching tradition. For example, generally appreciate the stone carvings of tombs in the Southern Dynasties to ward off evil spirits and the stone lions in Shunling in the Tang Dynasty. Practicality is not only reflected in decorative sculptures, but also in the art of funerary wares and religious sculptures. Funerary objects are funerary objects, among which sculptures occupy an important position, mainly figurines and animal sculptures. Small statues are substitutes for human sacrifices, and animal sculptures are also used to replace living bodies. They are very practical, not pure sculptures. The same is true of religious statues, which are used by believers to worship, and Buddhist statues are the most representative. China has both the historical and cultural particularities of China and the artistic particularities of China.

Therefore, Chinese and foreign art has its own historical accumulation, which varies from history to history.

The language of ancient sculptures in China is simple, but ancient sculptures in China never invented the plastic arts of western sculptures to accurately shape objects. Chinese painting generally uses economical language, concise and lively language, which gives people artistic enjoyment. Exaggeration or even deformation is a common technique to emphasize the charm of people and animals, such as Sichuan rap figurines in Han Dynasty and stone beasts in Huo Qubing's tomb. Western modern sculpture, contrary to traditional realism, pursues the variability of sculpture language and the freedom of sculpture space, and is not enslaved by objective images, making artistic creation more pure.

China people are intuitive art, they are concerned about the original model, but deliberately imitate it. Although there are some exaggerated colors, they pay more attention to respecting facts and respecting the true colors of things. China people's art is an uncreative art. Beneath the beautiful and gorgeous appearance, the paleness of its connotation and theme can't be concealed. Perhaps it is more suitable as a historical document.

Foreigners express their understanding and reflect their thoughts, which is a state of self-reliance, which also shows that they pay more attention to innovation and independent thinking.

Chinese and foreign sculptures are two different artistic schools. Realistic realism and freehand idealism are the biggest differences between Chinese and foreign artists. China's works bring you pleasing visual enjoyment, while foreigners' works bring you deep thinking and spiritual touch. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. But for us, gorgeous works need time and patience. Simple works pay attention to efficiency and give people a spiritual touch.

The impact of western civilization on China's traditional culture is the premise for the tradition to gain new vitality; So is the traditional sculpture in China. Because of this new impact, we can see new hope in China's traditional sculptures. The mutual absorption of Chinese and foreign art is the development of China relations.

Both China and foreign countries have profound artistic accumulation, which belongs to the precious wealth of mankind. They gave us shock and joy. The art world is gorgeous and beautiful, and we have gained more things.
