Thanks to the growth of computer and information technology, the modern society has become more unified. In other words, the modern world shows the trend of globalization, free national boarder and single culture.Therefore, each country thinks much of its own integrity and the features of its own national culture. The reform and open door policy of China has not only attracted the eyes of Asia but also the world's attention. In the field of fine art, the ancient art of China also attracted people's hew attention.After modernism and post-modernism, today's art has not established differentiation from multimedia including image and other classification, has valued much of format and concept, but not valued much of "beauty of purity." I think the works of Chinese ancient art has very important value in finding a new turning point for the modern art, out of the modern art trends. The Chinese ancient art is represented by sculpture of the Han Dynasty. That represents the sculpture works of the Man Dynasty in the Chinese culture. Prom the viewpoint of framing and contents, we can't deny the value and philosophical base of the art. The artistic value the sculpture of the Han Dynasty expresses may be divided into two; framing and contents.First, framing is also called meant framing of Oriental framing.

The Chinese consciousness of "beauty" may be railed "warm and profusive," and pursues internal cultivation and internal emotion, creating single, inclusive, realizable features of simple beauty and lineal shaping beauty.Second, in respect of contents, it reflects the art of living; However, it's not religious art based on philosophy of "response of heaven to human being" and "heaven means this."The Han Dynasty emphasizes cooperation between heaven and human being in unity. It regarded the heaven and the human being as one, and thinks much of real life. It is considered that human being still continues living even after death. Therefore, the object of art, to which the sculptors pay attention, is not separated from reality, but is closely related to real life, and intensely reflects individual life. Just as the to'rnb figure and stone picture of Hah Dynasty realize, the art is vividly realized in human being, animals, architecture, myth and foods.The ancient art of China, particularly Oriental framing of the' sculpture of the Han Dynasty; In other words the human beauty expressed centering oh pursuit of beauty of purity, life and human being will become an important key to the recovery of original beauty in the modern art in the cultural reality where the modern society is materialized Under the domination of the principles of economy and the proper beauty of art has lost direction in terms of touch of identity of the Orient...
