Malay and Tribal Art of Borneo

Well....China has been the cultural super power in Asia for thousands of years, so of course there some influences, but in the remote interior,,,,very very little.

This is normal Chinese art:

Chinese art seeks to see Nature as controllable and serene: jungle people love Nature as it is.
The circular patterns are jungle vines and trees and their patterns are seen quite through different eyes.
