The ancient Chinese architectural system has a long history and characteristics inseparable from the historical development of Chinese traditional philosophy. Chinese philosophy, as a theory of human self-consciousness, does not give knowledge, but mainly gives ideas and ways of thinking for the needs of human self-development;
At the same time, ancient Chinese architecture became a physical object reflecting the idea of traditional Chinese philosophy. Therefore, in order to explore ancient Chinese architecture, it is necessary to analyze and study it from the point of view of traditional Chinese philosophy. Like Confucius' thoughts on etiquette, the idea of the "doctrine of the middle" and the concept of hierarchical division; These ideas had a profound influence on ancient Chinese architecture, including urban planning, traditional dwellings, the environment, Lao Tzu's desire for harmony and unity between man and nature, worship of the gods, etc., as well as the theory that emerged later "Feng Shui", etc. temple space and garden architecture in the south of the Yangtze River.

Abstract: Monumental and religious sculpture was the main form of ancient Chinese sculpture. There were very few public monumental sculptures. This phenomenon was associated with traditional Chinese culture and the socio-economic situation. It was only after 1949 that many monumental sculptures on the theme of the revolution appeared in China, which had an important connection with the politics of that time.
This article is written in the following three parts: an overview of the development of monumental sculpture in ancient China; The history of the development of monumental sculpture from 1840 to 1949; An overview of the development of monumental sculpture after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Chinese sculptural art has a long history. As for monumental sculptures, with the development of society, the Policy in the field of culture and art supported diversification, artists received more free creative space. The range of creative topics gradually expanded, and there were more opportunities to choose style and language. It was only in the 1990s that the Chinese economy began to transform into a market economy. Under the influence of the latter monumental sculpture came under the influence of foreign cultures. We believe that China can rely on its own history, culture and national spirit, and combining China's historical resources with foreign cultures is the way to develop Chinese monumental sculpture.
