The Modern Meaning Of The Vision, Power, And Four Images: Aboriginal Chiefs "visual Management Tools"

This article tried to name the visual images such as totem, rituals, manners, implements, houses, and spaces which are appropriated or reserved only for Taiwan indigenous Chiefs and the upper class as "Visual Management Tool". It found out that the matriarchy and patriarchy visual management tools may inherit their respective gathering and fishing-and-hunting nature to develop separated power connotations, and the former is good at running flat organizations comparing with the latter which is skilled in operating stratums. This article considered Chinese Yin-Yang Four States theory may be the ideal model to explain this phenomenon, so it took the theory as the core value to analyze topics from the aspects such as philosophy, sociology, and visual anthropology. And then it sought further to clarify the modern meaning of Chief's visual management tools and to explore the possible revival of native authority and the creation of sustainable development policies for the aborigines on the base of indigenous religious archetype and philosophy.
