This study explores how Chinese sound art in exhibition contexts has evolved since the 1980s and examines its interactions with Western sound art. It provides a detailed analysis of representative exhibitions and works to investigate the creative concepts, cultural backgrounds, and international influences shaping Chinese sound art. While Chinese sound art has roots in local experimentation, it has increasingly integrated into the international exhibition system, gaining recognition through frequent exchanges and participation in global events. The study highlights a gap in academic attention toward the unique challenges and opportunities present in the exhibition environments of Chinese sound art. By adopting a methodological approach that combines historical analysis with case studies of key exhibitions, it traces the transformation of sound art into an independent artistic language in China. In addition, it examines conceptual, technical, and cultural distinctions between sound art in China and the West, shedding light on how these differences shape artistic practices and audience experiences. Ultimately, the study argues that Chinese sound art has developed a distinctive sound esthetics that intertwines traditional cultural symbols with contemporary global influences, marking its significance as a critical component of the evolving international sound art discourse.
