Abstract

Abstract

This paper abstracts a classic visual practice of “inverted expression of images” from Han Dynasty stone art, which belongs to the giant gene pool of human visual culture, to implement induction and reorganization. This specific visual practice is situated in a cross-cultural perspective of world art, which includes primitive art, classical art, and folk art, to juxtapose and compare two kinds of thinking and two different visual methods: the primitive and the scientific. Taking this as a logical starting point, the author analyzes, differentiates, and interprets the metaphor of time and space from the “bird” images of Han Dynasty stone to the “Gansu Flying Horse,” and explores the coding mode of its “prototype,” in order to finally achieve a basic description of this unique visual practice of early civilization in the sense of art and anthropology.
