中国古代雕塑艺术的主要内容为：陵墓雕塑(包括地上的纪念性石刻与墓室随葬俑)、宗教雕塑、民俗性及其他内容的雕塑。 大型陵墓石刻肇始于汉代墓前的石人、石兽。存世的古代陵墓石刻主要为南朝宋、齐、梁、陈及唐、北宋、明、清各代帝陵和勋臣贵戚墓的遗存。北魏、辽、金、西夏等朝代陵墓遭严重破坏，仅有少量石刻遗留下来。南朝和唐代的作品代表了陵墓石刻的最高成就。自唐代乾陵起，以迄北宋，石刻的内容、配置方式，逐步形成定制，并为明、清两代所承袭。 The main contents of China ancient sculpture art: tomb sculpture (including the monumental stone tomb and funerary figurines), religious sculpture, folk sculpture and other content. The large stone tomb of the tomb of the Han Dynasty originated from stone, stone beast. The world of the ancient tombs and stone carvings are mainly southern song, Qi, Liang, Chen and Tang, song, Ming and Qing Dynasties mausoleum and tomb relics related to Xun chen. Northern Wei, Liao, Jin, Xixia and other dynasty tombs were seriously destroyed, only a small amount of stone left. The works of the Southern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty represented the highest achievement of tomb stone carvings. Since the Tang Dynasty Qianling, until the Northern Song Dynasty, stone content, configuration, and gradually formed a custom, Ming and Qing two generations inherited. 中国雕塑在题材内容和雕塑技法上都具有鲜明的民族特色,并在长期发展中,不断吸收、融汇了很多外来艺术成分。其发展的高峰是秦汉、南北朝、隋唐时期，五代以后，大规模的雕造活动日益减少，而中小型雕塑则有新的发展。20世纪以后，受欧洲雕塑影响，出现一些西方雕塑样式的纪念碑雕塑和大量架上雕塑。80年代以后，城市环境雕塑兴起，中国雕塑进入一个新的发展时期。 Chinese sculpture has distinct national characteristics in its subject matter, content and sculpture techniques, and has absorbed and blended many foreign artistic elements in the long period of development. The peak of its development was the Qin and Han Dynasties, the northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the Five Dynasties, large-scale sculpture activities were reduced gradually, while the small and medium-sized sculptures developed in a new way. After twentieth Century, influenced by European sculpture, there were some Western sculptures, sculptures and sculptures on a large number of shelves. Since 80s, the urban environmental sculpture has risen and Chinese sculpture has entered a new period of development. 由于受到传统观念的制约，中国美术史上留下姓名的雕塑家不多，也缺少雕塑理论著作。对于中国雕塑史的研究和创作经验的总结，主要开始于近代。 Because of the restriction of traditional ideas, there are not many sculptors and sculptors in the history of Chinese art. The summary of the research and creative experience of Chinese sculpture began mainly in modern times.
