Abstract

This paper first explores the internal connection between “Tao” (ideal method) and “Qi” (a definite thing) in Chinese traditional humanistic spirit and the free style in Chinese artistic spirit. Then, by pointing out that sculpture is the carrier of cultural spirit, this paper analyzes the reasons for the lack of humanistic spirit in Chinese traditional sculpture, and emphasizes that “people-oriented” humanistic spirit gradually appeared in Chinese sculpture art at the beginning of last century. Finally, it points out that through the efforts of several generations of sculptors, Chinese urban sculpture not only inherits the ancient sculpture tradition, but also excavates the humanistic connotation. Excellent urban sculptures are always based on the local artistic language, focusing on the connection with the traditional context, and at the same time reflecting the contemporary intellectuals’ keen attention to the social humanity.
