Interdisciplinary studies in philosophy,aesthetics, theology, archaeology, sociology, the intellectual history, and the history of culture were correspondingly highlighted. In their specific discussions, the scholars closely related their case studies and regional research with the global art history. They not only took the Chinese historical and national stance to comprehend the traditional Chinese arts but also paid close attention to the western artistic traditions and contemporary thoughts, opening up an unprecedentedly broad prospect for the studies in the Chinese art history.
