          This research aims to explore the influence of Han Dynasty stone relief art on contemporary Chinese art creation. The study focuses on analyzing how ancient aesthetic concepts, artistic forms, and techniques have been adopted or adapted by modern Chinese artists. The research sample consists of 20 contemporary Chinese artists selected through purposive sampling, ensuring their direct engagement with traditional Chinese art forms. The research instruments include semi-structured interviews, case study analysis of selected artworks, and a comprehensive literature review. Data collection involved interviews with artists, high-resolution imagery of artworks, and archival research. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative content analysis to identify recurring themes and patterns related to the influence of Han Dynasty stone relief art.
          The research results found that Han Dynasty stone relief art has significantly impacted contemporary Chinese art in three key areas: aesthetic concepts, artistic forms, and techniques. Contemporary artists have drawn inspiration from the harmony between humans and nature, the use of simple and powerful lines, and multi-layered compositions, integrating these elements into modern creative practices. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the cross-temporal dialogue between ancient and contemporary art, emphasizing the continued relevance and influence of traditional Chinese cultural elements in modern artistic expressions.
