Brief Introduction£º
In 1974, when an ordinary peasant was digging a
well, he accidentally found the wood and clay figures
of warriors and horses buried with the dead that
had been sealed beneath the earth for two thousand
years. This historical event drew people's attention
to ancient Chinese sculpture. Sculpture has long
been neglected in China as insignificant when compared
to writing and painting, which were considered as
classical arts. This program, however, unfolds the
vast culture of Chinese sculpture. You will not
only deeply understand Chinese sculpture as part
of our daily lives, but you will also admire precious
works of art that are equal to fine sculptures from
the west.
