The aesthetic differences between China and the West in stone tools

First of all, the question appears that the aesthetic category of stone tools is too vague. It is quoted that the Eastern Stone Age is divided into two periods, the old and the new. The Paleolithic Age only focused on the practicality of the utensils, while the Neolithic Age added certain artistic aesthetic shapes to make them more in line with totem worship and ergonomics.

In different historical periods, Western stone tools and sculptures have revealed a realist color, and most of them are artistic creations that serve religious and theocratic ideas.

However, the stone sculptures of different historical periods in China only partially serve religion. For example, there are a large number of brilliant grotto art. The art appears in different dynasties and clay sculpture techniques are involved in the creation.

In addition, there are stone carvings in imperial mausoleums and architectural sculptures, which adopt exaggerated abstract and surrealistic creative techniques.
