Narrative of Chinese mythology images on covers of international scientific journals and their implications
[Purposes]This study aims to explore the narrative pathways of Chinese mythology images on the covers of international scientific journals and to promote modern Chinese civilization.[Methods]We analyzed innovations in carriers,symbols,and mechanisms within the narrative of Chinese mythology images on these covers,as well as method innovations in contemporary Chinese civilization that presented by abstract,symmetrical,and contemporary Chinese mythology images.[Findings]The images of the Chinese dragon and the Chinese phoenix on the covers of international scientific journals,characterized by intertextuality and narrative plot,showcase the artistic style of Chinese mythology storytelling.This serves as a reference for applying native cultural elements—specifically Chinese mythology images—to the covers of Chinese scientific journals.[Conclusions]Chinese scientific journals can enhance the visual narrative strategy of Chinese mythology through cover images,promoting cultural exchange and international communication,fostering a sense of cultural identity among the Chinese people,enriching the connotation and scientific value of Chinese culture,and building an international platform to tell the Chinese story and disseminate Chinese wisdom.
