元代的泉州是个国际大都市,各种宗教文化在这里汇聚交织,泉州基督教丧葬艺术就是在此背景下诞生的艺术奇葩。这种多元融合的特殊艺术,极具图像表现力,在十字架、天使、莲花、云纹等装饰中,本土的与外来的、基督教的与非基督教的等各种文化元素之间互相借用、互相影响。泉州基督教具有独特的文化选择倾向,它选择与基督教教义相符的文化元素进行图像创新。

Quanzhou which assembled different religion cultures was an international city in the Yuan dy- nasty. The multicultural nature of Quanzhou society produced a unique funerary art of the Christian, which was full of mixed patterns.
