This volume is one of the first books that systematically explores the mutual enrichment of civilisations between the East and the West, and the construction of a community of destiny for mankind, from the perspective of comparative literature.  This book is the first attempt in China to systematically sort out and re-study the research works on Chinese art history in the English-speaking world in the 20th century.
