| The worship of animal totems by the Chuxiong Yi people and their ancestors’ rituals and souls are a legacy of primitive social life,and it is an exploration or affirmation of the ancestors’ problems.It is a sum of primitive ideology and primitive cultural phenomena.From the point of view of painting creation,this is a complete set of images with the cultural characteristics of Yunnan Yi people’s original beliefs.And has its special visual value and aesthetic significance.When capturing the creative materials needed for painting: not only viewing ready-made shapes,colors,and painting techniques,but also based on visual images.Combine what you see with memory and identify related behaviors,ideas,or similar artistic expressions,analyze the causes,and collect cultural phenomena with similar characteristics to compare.In order to enrich the content of the screen in actual creation,it accurately expresses and reflects its morphological or spiritual significance.My creative revelation from the Chuxiong Nuo opera and the Shu culture is that the human beast is the same as the soul or human beast.The basis is that from sacrificial ceremonies to totem dances,there is an impersonation of the ancestral spirit with animal images and an imitation of animal form movements.The reason is that the ancestors think that they are the same as animals and even inferior to other animals in terms of strength,agility,or adaptability.When faced with severe pressures for survival,the desire for survival is often directly appealed to animals,hoping that they have the same ability to adapt to nature as animals.This is also the main reason why most ethnic minorities regard an animal as their ancestor or imitate animal behavior.I regard this "animal and beast" animal worship view as a form of creative expression and distinguish it from "human-animal separation"."Beast and soul is the same as the soul" is the core creative thought that I use as the main content of expressing the animal image of the witchcraft in the Chuxiong Qiang and Qiang culture and the relationship between the human and the animals in the concept of the spirit of the She nationality.Finally,the use of skeletons or pods is itself an interpretation of the relationship between man and nature,or the struggle and evolution of life in nature.The skeletal image I created in my writing uses a large number of gray or dark tones.In addition to rendering the mystery of the voodoo,it is necessary to reflect the perception of a natural image in the original concept or the sense of guilt in the consciousness,and through the color and The image shows a sense of mystery and symbolism. |
