When lacquer spread over the whole world as a kind of creating material and art media, people in different countries learned from each other, mixed together and improved together, making contribution to the continuing development of the common culture behavior of human society. The technique and expression skills of lacquer became the spiritual and material treasure of the world.The lacquer arts of different countries formed their own artistic styles and technique features according to different social and material background. We should point out at the same time we emphasize the unique contribution to the world lacquer arts made by Chinese ancient lacquer arts: the lacquer arts of different regions of the world not only had their special advantages but influenced the Chinese lacquer arts as well.
