Abstract

This study focuses on the role and influence of ancient artworks in cross-cultural exchanges, aiming to analyze their dissemination paths, the integration of techniques and styles, the evolution of aesthetic concepts, and their cultural significance. As important media for cultural exchanges, ancient artworks were widely spread through routes such as the Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road, which promoted the mutual understanding and integration of Eastern and Western cultures. By adopting a combination of literature analysis, case studies, quantitative analysis and comparative studies, the research findings show that ancient Chinese porcelain and silk had a profound impact on Western aesthetic orientations and lifestyles. The artistic techniques and styles of the East and the West achieved integrated innovation in the exchanges, and cross-cultural exchanges deeply reshaped the aesthetic concepts of artworks. The exchanges of ancient artworks demonstrated significant value in shaping cultural identity, facilitating cultural inheritance, and deepening cross-cultural understanding. This study not only provides theoretical support for understanding the deep-seated laws of cross-cultural exchanges of ancient artworks but also offers guidance for contemporary cultural exchange practices.
