由于历史的原因,中国艺术品大量流出国外,集中收藏于日本、欧洲、美国。其中,又以日本收藏的最多。之所以如此,是中日两国特殊的地理、历史、文化、战争、经济和人文条件促成的。这些方面均为欧美国家不及。在地理上,中国和日本一衣带水,在文化交流上本来有便利之处。古代历史上,日本是受惠于中国文化最多的国家,2000多年的中日文化交流史基本上也是一部中国艺术品流传日本史。近代以来,日本一举成为西方列强,又从中国买去或略夺去大量艺术品。甚至第二次世界大战后,尤其是70年代日本成为经济大国后,一些中国艺术品继续通过各种渠道流入日本。日本人长期受中国文化影响,自然比西方人更懂中国艺术,尤其是国民中普遍存在爱好艺术的传统,所以历代的中国艺术品都能够完好地保留至今。许多珍品在它的祖国都已绝迹,但在日本却反而能惊喜地再发现。对于日本藏中国艺术珍品的情况,有些中国学者虽然偶有论及,可惜系列的考察研究基本 Due to historical reasons, a large number of Chinese artefacts flow out of the country and concentrate on collections in Japan, Europe and the United States.
