A Study of Miao Pattern Culture in Guizhou from the Perspective of Mythological"Motif"
The concept of"motif"can be defined as"plot unit"in folk story literature terms.In Miao narrative literature,the mo-tif can be divided into three plot units:"creation motif","war motif"and"migration motif".In the view of"motif",Miao patterns in Guizhou mostly take"myth","legend","history"and"religion"as the core of pattern modeling,which is also the fundamental of pat-tern connotation narration.Miao pattern is a kind of cultural expression of Miao people's long-accumulated national consciousness,which has cultural attributes on the basis of the meaning of decorative symbols.Miao pattern culture is perceived by culture holders as a symbol,which is an important part of their ethnic identity.These patterns are not only decoration,but also a kind of historical inheritance and cultural expression,so that the Miao culture can be inherited and developed,but also make the Miao people different from other ethnic groups,forming a unique cultural image.
