A few more words about this course

The mutual learning among civilizations is an important driving force for human development. Especially in modern times, important cultural exchanges have been conducted between the East and the West, which promoted mutual understanding and broadened people's imagination and cognition of the world.

Throughout this course you will discover:

  •  Differences are often not barriers, but serve as a promoter for the development of their own culture by exchanges and mutual learning. This course, taking China, Japan and France as examples, describes their mutual learning and integration in the cultural field, especially the field of art, in the three historical stages of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
  • The course is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on France's acceptance of and reference to Chinese and Japanese art in the 18th century, with emphasis on Chinese art. The second part tells about France's acceptance of Chinese and Japanese art in the 19th century, focusing on its reference to Japanese art. The third part tells how artists from France, China and Japan could fully explore themselves in the process of learning from and exchanging with artists from other countries through their own personal travels and experiences after the 20th century of modern era. In this way, artistic works has been created with own cultural influence and full of personality liberation, thus making modern art flourish. I hope this course can provoke your thoughts, make you aware of your cultural environment and civilization education, and better understand your own cultural identity. I hope you can make your own contributions to promote world peace, strengthen exchanges between countries and mutual understanding between people.
