Philosophy related to the heritage
From the perspective of Eastern philosophy, the Stone Carving Museum is not only a carrier of history, but also a symbol of harmony between man, nature and society. Eastern philosophy emphasizes the concept of "harmony between man and nature". Stone carving, as an art form, often contains a profound dialogue between man and nature. Through the carving works, we can feel the ancients' awe and understanding of heaven, earth and all things, which reflects the respect and compliance of Confucianism and Taoism to the laws of the universe and nature. The static and permanence of stone carving works also symbolizes the thinking of "impermanence" and "eternity" in Eastern culture. From the perspective of Western philosophy, the Stone Carving Museum is a witness to history and time, showing the progress of human rationality, culture and aesthetics. In Western philosophy, especially Plato's theory of ideas, art is regarded as a path to truth. Stone carving, as a concrete art form, is not only a reproduction of the material world, but also often carries the pursuit of the spiritual world. Western culture emphasizes the initiative and rationality of human beings in creation. Stone carving works reflect how humans explore themselves, express ideals and record history through art and carving. These two philosophical perspectives make the Stone Carving Museum an important window for understanding the evolution of human thought and culture.
