不同时期的人物雕塑揭示着人类当时的宇宙观和人生观，蕴含这人类对生命极大的热情；文化对人物的雕塑的作用，既造成了中国唐至宋代以后人物雕塑的衰落也促成了西方雕塑随着文化改革而不断的演进。
Character sculptures in different periods reveal the world outlook and life outlook of human beings at that time, which implies the great enthusiasm of human beings for life. The role of culture in character sculpture not only caused the decline of figure sculptures in China from Tang to Song Dynasty, but also contributed to the continuous evolution of Western sculpture with the cultural reform.
