Visual Expression of Yin-Yang and Bagua Philosophy in Song Dynasty Landscape Painting
Abstract
The Book of Changes is one of the ancient Chinese philosophical classics, which expounds the theory of Yin-Yang and Bagua (Eight diagram). This study aims to study the philosophical implications of Yin-Yang and Bagua in the Book of Changes and its artistic expression in Chinese landscape painting. This study uses observation and semiotic methods to reveal the symbolic imagery of Yin-Yang and Bagua in landscape painting and its profound influence on artistic creation. The study found that the philosophical concept of Yin-Yang and Bagua is deeply reflected in Chinese landscape painting, providing a unique symbol system for artistic creation and expanding the understanding of landscape painting. This study could provide a new perspective for the mutual penetration of Chinese traditional culture and art.
