Abstract:

Based on an inheritance of the recognition of life integration in mythological thinking, the traditional Chinese auspicious image was produced through conscious interweaving of image thinking, putting materialized emotions into the image, and then making it stereotyped as a model.It is truly a kind of unique Oriental symbolic art, and its symbolic image's aesthetic judgments and values eonsist of its special aesthetic praetiees and standards.Such an old traditional national art is sending out its distinctive individuality and taking on anew life in its course of mingling with modem elements.

Key words: auspicious image, life integration, ecological environment, aesthetic standard
