What are the aesthetic differences between China stone tools and western stone tools?

First of all, the aesthetic category of stone tools is too vague. Quoting that the Eastern Stone Age was divided into two periods, the Paleolithic only paid attention to the practicality of utensils, and the Neolithic added certain artistic aesthetic shapes to make it more in line with totem worship and ergonomics. In different historical periods, western stone tools and sculptures are realistic, and most of them are artistic creations serving religious theocracy. However, the stone carvings in different historical periods in China only partially serve religion, such as a large number of splendid grottoes, which were dated and created by clay sculpture techniques. In addition, there are stone carving art and architectural sculptures of imperial tombs, which use exaggerated abstract surrealism.
