ABSTRACT

The Qin and Han Dynasties were a period of great unification of Chinese feudal society, with economic development and prosperity, and military strength and invincibility. The rulers not only strengthened the unification of politics, economy and culture, but also attached great importance to the development of art, taking sculpture art as a means of unification of merits and oath of sovereignty. In this era, it is an important period for the establishment and development of our national art style. These characteristics of the times are embodied in the art of sculpture, forming a magnificent and vibrant style. As a result, a large number of sculpture works emerged. The sculpture in Qin and Han Dynasties promoted the development of Chinese sculpture, which was the peak in the history of Chinese sculpture. Its unique sculpture techniques had a profound impact on later generations and had important significance for the development of Chinese sculpture history. In the course of historical development, Qin and Han Dynasty is relatively short. From Qin to Han Dynasty, the style of clay sculpture in Qin and Han Dynasty has been influenced by history and culture, and some changes have taken place. It is of great significance to study the evolution of style for the development of sculpture. This paper is based on the influence of social and political conditions and ideas of governing the country, the cultural tradition inherited by the times, aesthetic ideas and philosophical ideas. The reasons of style evolution are discussed.
