Features: You must have had such experiences: "Take a look at my Qingtan carving!" "Is this a genuine European landscape painting?" You often feel lost for words when you see your friend's slightly proud introduction. Why? These works are not unfamiliar to us. Is traditional Chinese painting really not concerned with perspective while Western works are rare in artistic conception? When we face the conflicts of culture in the information age, artworks as carriers of culture directly impact our lives and attitudes. We gradually realize that what we appreciate is our own inner selves. In fact, this book is not a manual for appreciating artworks. It equips us with the ability to do so. From then on, we will appreciate or examine different beauties from a cultural perspective. After grasping the roots of Chinese and Western cultures, we will be able to appreciate the myriad artworks more profoundly and live a freer life!
