Features: The difference between religious art and general art lies in the religious values it embodies. For the same issue, perspectives from different angles can lead to significantly different, even completely opposite, conclusions. Traditionally, the evaluation of religious art has often been approached from a "religious" perspective, focusing on the outcome of religious art. What we are now attempting is to evaluate religious art from an "artistic" perspective. The theme of this book on the comparison of Eastern and Western religious aesthetics and art is merely some personal preliminary insights. The history and reality of Eastern and Western religious aesthetics and art are boundless and vast, like the endless ocean. Among the "three thousand rivers of weakness," this book only draws a single scoop of water.
