Abstract

No matter what the different cultural backgrounds are, they will always collide and generate divergence on the same point of intersection and then continue moving forward in the direction of collective cognition. At present, the global world is facing severe pestilence disasters; China Art Circle made many responses immediately at the beginning of the epidemic situation and tried to fight the epidemic situation, encourage the front-line medical staff and provide energy for them. However, when the epidemic situation in China trends to calm, the art theme about the epidemic situation also suddenly keeps silent. It looks like calm without great waves; however, through investigating Western art, it is found that the Western Art Circle has different orientations on the attitude to disasters; considering its inner core, it maps the further understanding of groups with different cultural backgrounds on the cognition of other shores of life- different life and death idea influence the social outlook, view of life and expectation of life fate of different groups. Meanwhile, they also promote the society to show different introspection paths while facing disasters. The study uses empirical analysis to identify and collect the image information from classical paintings of the East and the West. The results show that compared with Western art, Chinese art conveys a message that focuses more on maintaining the country's stability.

Abstract

As an essential cultural repository of Chinese civilization, the folk crafts of the Jiangnan region embody the collective memory and spiritual identity of vernacular society. Rooted in the theoretical framework of cultural communication and supported by five years of practical exploration, this study systematically investigates the functional pathways through which Jiangnan handicraft study programs facilitate Chinese and foreign humanistic exchanges. The research findings reveal several key insights: first, the intricate cultural symbol system embedded within Jiangnan folk crafts transcends linguistic barriers, enabling a deeper level of emotional resonance across different cultural contexts. Second, craft-based course design that fosters direct collaboration between Chinese and Western students significantly enhances the efficiency of cross-cultural cognitive processes, allowing for a more profound mutual understanding. Third, the study introduces and validates a structured three-phase model—skills transmission, narrative reconstruction, and creative symbiosis—which serves as an effective mechanism for transitioning cultural values from the realm of passive external observation to active intersubjective engagement. More specifically, this model facilitates the transformation of cultural perspectives from the gaze of the other into a dynamic inter-subjective dialogue, thereby fostering a more reciprocal and participatory form of cultural exchange. Through this framework, the study not only provides a theoretical paradigm with substantial academic depth but also offers practical guidance for the international dissemination of Jiangnan culture. By demonstrating how traditional folk crafts can serve as a conduit for intercultural communication and mutual understanding, this research contributes valuable insights into the broader discourse on global cultural sustainability, heritage preservation, and cross-cultural education.
