Study on the Cultural Characteristics of Fusang Tree Patterns in Chu State
Regarding the research on the patterns of Fusang trees in Chu mythology,using a combination of graphic and textual analysis,it is concluded that the patterns of Fusang trees in Chu are a result of the fusion and development of early human civilization under the worship of the sun.Research has shown that:① The inclusiveness of the Chu people led to the origin of their Fusang tree pattern image,which has the attributes of a combination of Central Plains culture and Bashu culture based on primitive sunrise;② The pre-Chu civilization added its unique cultural symbols,specifically manifested in the art form of worshipping fire and sun:on the one hand,it preserved the image of the sky in the belief of rising sun,and combined it with social background stories to be included in tomb protection patterns.On the other hand,by integrating the ethnic characteristics of ancestor worship of the phoenix and the sun,it has developed into a composite decorative pattern of the phoenix bird as the main body in daily clothing The myth of"Ten Days"is closely related to the Fusang tree in the state of Chu implies the cultural value of the Chinese solar theory system.
