Differences between China Stone Carvings and Western Stone Carvings

Stone carving is a kind of sculpture art. There are great differences between Chinese and western artistic cultures, which are also clearly reflected in stone carving. China stone carvings have traditional Chinese cultural features, such as religious sculptures and geomantic animal sculptures. The history of most western countries is not long, so the cultural precipitation is relatively shallow, and their stone carvings are more inclined to modern stone carvings.

Modern Chinese and Western stone carvings have their own characteristics, which are influenced by different regional environments and customs.
