Abstract：Feng Zikai compared the manifestation and communication of Chinese and Western paintings from the aspects of techniques and ideology, and proposed the theory of “superiority of Chinese art”. On the surface, the theory of “superiority of Chinese art”advocated ethnocentrism. However, in a deeper sense, his theory is based on the objective reality that modern Western paintings has been sinicized, and stands up for the independent status of Chinese paintings in the aspects of uniqueness of techniques and superiority of ideology. Feng Zikai's comparison between Chinese and Western paintings is not only the inheritance of epochal character in traditional painting theory, but also the incorporation of Western painting theory.
