Part 2 – The Impact of Contemporary Visual Culture on Chinese Traditional Aesthetic Culture. It elaborates on how Chinese traditional aesthetic culture has been lost and transformed under the influence of contemporary visual culture.
Part 3 – The Response of Artists to Contemporary Visual Culture and Historical Insights. Based on the specific characteristics of contemporary artists, combined with the development history of Zen Buddhism, which has a profound spiritual connection with contemporary art, it offers insights for exploring the Chinese path of contemporary visual culture.
Studying traditional Chinese aesthetic culture from the perspective of visual culture is an attempt to transcend the boundaries between Eastern and Western, traditional and modern, and technology and concept. It is both theoretically original and highly practical and forward-looking.
