Mata Yan Fei used a highly realistic technique in her writing. In China in the pre-Qin period, sculptures, especially pure plastic works, were not the main body of art, and bronze sculptures mainly existed in the form of simulators or local decorations. In the modeling method, it is also decorative, and the bronze decorative pattern is not realistic. At this point, it is completely different from the modeling method of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture.

However, in the Qin and Han dynasties, sculptures not only increased, but also reached the peak of realism in artistic techniques, which were not only huge in volume, but also implicit in depth, such as terracotta warriors and horses unearthed from Qin tombs and bronze chariots and horses.

Although the sculptures in the Han Dynasty are not as tall and meticulous as those in the Qin Dynasty, they still remain realistic and more athletic than those in the Qin Dynasty. The bronze galloping horse in the Eastern Han Dynasty is also so symmetrical and accurate in shape. Although there are not too many details, it generally conveys its basic shape and momentum.
