Beijing National Stadium, often called the "Bird's Nest", an example of postmodern architecture

Postmodernism (Chinese: 后现代主义; pinyin: hòuxiàndàizhǔyì) emerged in China during the late 20th century as the country underwent rapid economic development and globalization. While influenced by Western postmodern currents, Chinese postmodernism developed distinctively as it interacted with China's unique historical and cultural context. It challenged traditional Chinese aesthetics and philosophies, reinterpreting them through an eclectic postmodern lens. This ushered in experimental forms of expression across literature, art, architecture, intellectualism, and cinema. Chinese artists interwove traditional motifs with postmodern pastiche, irony, and critical engagement with contemporary issues. Postmodernism in China thus represents a fusion of global trends and local heritage. It provides a lens to understand modern China as artists and intellectuals navigate expressing individuality within the nation's socio-political landscape.[1]
