A Comparative Study of the Ancient Chinese Bronze and the Ancient Greek Sculpture

Both the Chinese bronze of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and the ancient Greek sculpture belong to the art of the Bronze Age. Both were equally the peak of the art of the time. However, owing to the different cultural backgrounds, there are distinctions between the two in connotation, function and principle for creation. The Chinese bronze is more related with religious sacrifices, witchcraft and political education, with symbolism as its major creation principle, while the ancient Greek sculpture is more related with mythology and aesthetics, with realism as its major creation principle.
