The Change And Reconstruction Of Image Symbols In GaoMi Puhui New Year Pictures

In the late 1990 s,a number of scholars studied the folk art phenomenon in the context of the construction of the social structure and order in China,focusing on the reconstruction of tradition in modernization and,based on this,on the cultural interaction between large and small traditions and the role of folk art in the construction of the cultural identity of the state.In this academic context,this paper focuses on the puffed-gray New Year paintings,which are known as "Chinese folk paintings" in Gaomi,and considers them as visual symbols of perception,examining how people have expressed their cultural concepts through the puffed-gray New Year paintings in different social contexts,how the pictorial symbols constitute the cognitive system of local people,and how they participate in the construction of national order.This includes a series of questions such as how image symbols were constructed during the agricultural period,how they were broken and reshaped during the industrialization period,how folk art maintained itself in the industrialized production during the early reform and opening-up period,and how traditional culture was reconstructed during the NRM protection period,which is a dynamic process of change and reconstruction.This knowledge system is embedded in the ideological system of Chinese culture and shows continuity and consistency in the interaction between rituals and customs.Therefore,the author places the change and reconstruction of pictorial symbols in the overall social context and explores their relationship with national cultural identity and the building of a sense of community among the Chinese nation.
