A Study on the Image of the Shared-Life Bird in Tang Dynasty
Journal: Arts Studies and Criticism DOI: 10.32629/asc.v7i2.5122
Abstract
This paper examines the image of the shared-life bird in the Tang Dynasty, categorizing it into two paradigms: the double-headed bird body (including its subtypes) and the double-headed human body. It analyzes the stylistic characteristics and evolution of each paradigm, exploring changes in body posture, wing structure, human head form, and contextual composition. The study reveals the transformation process from avian form to humanoid form and musical stylization, as well as the relationship between these images and other divine bird motifs.
