Art economy is a sort of humanistic economy.Chinese traditional art takes"make a living with art"and"express one's mind with art"as the logical starting point for the connection of art and economy.Since 1840,the traditional humanistic economy of China has gradually transitioned to modern humanistic economy,which is reflected basically in the traditional art transformation from static economic model to dynamic economic model.Faced with the new cultural form and economic model,China adheres to cultural orientation,which lay the dominant position of Chinese traditional art.During the rise of modern humanistic economy which is an interconnected economy,Chinese traditional art either passively adapt itself or actively sought changes,constantly rejuvenating and thus avoid the one-dimensional social development solely on economy and interests.The humanistic economy focuses on people,and people orientation is not only the fundamental principle of humanistic economy development,and the development of people-oriented humanistic economy is also an effective path for the contemporary inheritance of Chinese traditional art.
