In the study of the creation art history, only the achievement that endows the creation history with some new meaning, value or answers can be regarded as an enlightening work. To achieve this, researchers should not only have a good sense of history, but also grasp the core issues of “source and flow”, “content and form”, “diachronic and synchronic”, “causal law of creation” and so on. These issues are not only related to whether we can accurately grasp the historical panorama of the development of human material civilization, but also related to the revelation of the complex relationship between the driving force of human historical development and the law. The history of creation art is not only the history of physical state, but also the history of production and life related to human beings. In recent years, there are two remarkable new changes in the exploration of these issues and relations in the study of the history of creation art: first, the research method has shifted from description to interpretation; second, the research perspective has shifted from the core to the edge.
