The statement assets that the value of a civilization is reflected its artistic creations rather than in its scientific accomplishments. I don’t agree with the statement. Although the art can reflect the value of a civilization, we can’t deny that scientific accomplishments also evaluate a civilization.
Art being a carrier of spirituality represents the height of human’s thought. Archeologist always evaluates the development of a society by looking the achievement of art of this the society. The Tang dynasty is famous for its developed art. Both of poetry and painting achieve a an unprecedented peak. On the Tang dynasty, varied thought spread upon this period and glitter wise.( I did not catch the idea of this sentence. I think it might be like this: “varied thoughts full of rays of wisdom spread widely ” )
A civilization full of artic creation is a amazing society that give an outlook of true meaning about human, about universe , and so on. Through art , we can look into the inside of the civilization and understand that how the civilization to explain the world it exists. ( Why is this paragraph separated from the above one, while all of them say the same thing that artistic creations reflect the value of a civilization? )
We admit that the artic creation reflects the value of a civilization, but we can’t deny the devotion of scientific accomplishments. How we can can we image that what the world would be without electric? How we can can we tolerance the lagging information if we went back to the dynasty that people only used horse being a traveling tool. Scientific accomplishment brings energy to civilization. Industry revolution bought people into the new period of industry. After that the society develops with an unprecedented speed. Now, people enjoy the civilization full of the convenience and speedy and abundant information which result from scientific accomplishments.
Meanwhile, we can’t separate the artistic creation and scientific accomplishments. Art is a higher goal comparing to fundament of material. People must assure that they shouldn’t suffer hunger and chilly, and then they can turn their head to the art. And scientific accomplishment provide new thing into art and give new tool to help develop art creation.
In short, It is unilateral to look upon the value of a civilization just with artistic creations or scientific accomplishments. A civilization’s value is not only is reflected in artistic creations but also in scientific achievement. We should combine this two thing and then understand a society thoroughly.
