How the divinity of Chinese sculpture is conveyed through the details of the sculpture

The charm of Chinese sculpture is conveyed through the details of the sculpture.

Traditional Chinese sculpture mainly utilizes the technique of detail in the way it handles modeling. The so-called detail refers to the use of the least amount of ink and brush to express the richest image. China has always been strong on inner beauty in aesthetics, believing that simplicity and innocence is the highest state of aesthetics, a state that can only be achieved by removing superfluous and magnificent appearances.

Traditional Chinese sculpture has never been as precise as Western sculpture, but has been more in terms of feeling and detail. Like Chinese painting, the general use of simple, bright and intriguing to do more with less. For example, traditional Chinese sculpture is minimalist in its portrayal of the head of the figure.

Eyebrows are often reduced to geometric shapes, with no nasal folds or muscular changes. Facial structures such as the cheekbones and biting muscles were also eliminated by the law of simplicity, becoming flat, full and large. The simplicity of the head shape has become an important means of expressing the charm of traditional Chinese sculpture. This minimalist approach makes Chinese sculpture in the refinement of the block more whole, and thus sometimes more sculptural and even architectural sense.

Environmental development of Chinese sculpture

The emergence and development of Chinese sculpture is the inevitable result of the forward development of human material and spiritual civilization. Cities, as more advanced settlements than villages and towns, are more developed, bringing together cutting-edge science and technology and industrial civilization, cutting-edge information and spiritual civilization, and Chinese sculpture brings together higher quality population groups, more advanced and convenient infrastructure and living and service facilities.

Chinese sculpture can be both a sign and symbol of a country's culture, but also as a product of the accumulation of the nation's culture. Sculpture tells the history of national development, unites the spirit and tradition of the nation, represents the spirit of each historical period, reflects the infinite pursuit and persistent beliefs of the people from ancient times to the present, and shows the values and aesthetic interests.
