西方詩人歌德云:「世界文學的時代已將來臨」,中國學者蔡元培則云:「藝術是世界性的語言」。似乎從西方到東方、從傳統到現代、從文學到藝術,東西方文化都已逐漸放棄以往「西方中心論」或「東方中心論」的文化本位主義,試圖從彼此的文化差異中尋找雙方共通的語言。如現今美國經濟史學家尼爾˙弗格森(Niall Ferguson)就把China和America合併為「Chinamerica」。從「chinamerica」可以得知,在全球化的時代雖然東西方文化有著本質性的差異,但對整體人類仍抱持著基本的理想與相同的追求。因此重要的是如何以現代的人文思維,為傳統的中國文化思維提供科學的依據,以賦予中國傳統思維新的時代意義。
The western poet Goethe said, ”World literature’s time will approach.” Chinese scholar Cai Yuan-pei also said, ”Art is the only world language.” From the West to the East and from tradition to modern age, seems no matter literature or art, the East and West culture gradually gave up their egocentrism and attempted to search the duplex common language from each other. As American economical historian Niall Ferguson combined China and America to ”Chinamerica.” This meaning is in globalization time, although the East and West culture has the essential difference. Overall humanity was still embracing the basic ideal and same pursue.Therefore it will be necessary and important to explanation and redefìnes the traditional Chinese culture and art with new thought. Then the western and eastern art will redefìne the subjectivity of its art and created a new set of artistic language for both art.
