The Research Of Children’s Images In Tomb Murals Of Yuan Dynasty

Children ’ s imagery is a character image system that expresses "children".By combing through the remains of the murals in the tombs of the Yuan Dynasty,it is found that there are as many as 45 mural tombs with children’s images in the Yuan Dynasty,which is more than half of the total number of mural tombs in the Yuan Dynasty.It can be said that children Image is one of the representative image systems of people in the tomb murals of the Yuan Dynasty.By combing through the development of children’s images in the tomb murals from the Han Dynasty to the Liao and Jin Dynasties,it can be seen that although the subject matter of children’s images is becoming more and more abundant,children appear as supporting actors in historical stories and the activities of the tomb owner,reflecting the traditions of feudal ethics and daily life.No change.In the conceptual system of "family",children are an indispensable element.As a symbol of "newborn" and "hope",children are the objects of social attention,father’s education,and mother’s care.Children’s images have thus formed three major motifs: First,the "pray for blessings" motif originates from the need for reproduction and expresses the good wish of praying for more children and more blessings.The second is the "baby play" motif,which expresses the innocence and beauty of children in real life and the harmonious family relationship.The third is the motif of "enlightenment",which promotes "filial piety" and "loyalty" out of the need to maintain the rule.The popularity of children’s images in the tombs of the Yuan Dynasty was not only related to the rapid population decline in the early Yuan Dynasty,the rise of blessing customs,and the need to maintain politics.The development of the commodity economy and the rise of the citizen class also provided favorable conditions for the development of children’s images.There are many images of children in Yuan tombs,their spreading time is long,and their distribution is wide,but the subject matter lacks independence and is often attached to certain themes.Therefore,on the basis of the above motifs,the themes of children images in Yuan tombs are divided into the following categories : 1.Children’s images in family images,including children playing pictures and child servants’ services;2.Children’s images in blessing images;3.Children’s images in music and dancing images;4.Children’s images in religious images;5.Dutiful children images The images of children,among which family images,especially the images of child servants and filial sons,are the main themes of children images in the tomb murals of the Yuan Dynasty.The reason for the above phenomenon is that the Yuan Dynasty was an era of great unity under the rule of ethnic minorities and a mixture of multiple ethnic groups.Out of the need to maintain social stability,the ruling class used tomb murals,which have appeared since the Han Dynasty and spread in an orderly manner.Traditional image carriers have the political function of promoting the idea of ??loyalty and filial piety and consolidating the concept of hierarchy.However,although the Mongols accepted Han Confucianism and practiced filial piety to govern the country,the innumerable funeral traditions are still retained by the ruling class and upper-middle class aristocrats.The murals in the tombs no longer serve to record the life of the upper class.It is turning to the citizen class.The policy of opposing the emphasis on agriculture and business in the Yuan Dynasty promoted economic development and promoted the expansion of the citizen class.Therefore,the art of tomb murals in the Yuan Dynasty was developed under the guidance of a multicultural,multi-ethnic and multi-religious system,supported by the citizen class and middle and lower aristocrats.Therefore,the tomb murals shifted from portraits,historical figures and historical stories to focus on "people"."My own real life.In addition,the downward movement of the literati class brought higher aesthetic pursuits.Therefore,the artistic function of the tomb murals in the Yuan Dynasty was greatly enhanced,which enriched the themes of children’s images and children’s patterns in the folk art of the Ming and Qing Dynasties,and made the creation more focus on freehand brushwork.expression.Compared with the previous generations,the children’s images in the tomb murals of the Yuan Dynasty added religious life themes.These images were not purely religious images,but formed life images with folk culture or literati interest,reflecting the rule of the Mongols.The mingling of multi-ethnic,multi-religious,literati and citizen classes plays a role in maintaining religious beliefs and promoting ethnic integration.
