Study on the Fish Patterns of Rongjiang Miao Batiks

Abstract The history of Miao batik has a long history, and the Miao people, who do not have words, use batik patterns to write their history, which is why Miao clothing is called "history on the body". With the different geographical distribution of the Miao people, the narrative of batik patterns also has its own characteristics. Based on field research, interviews with folk artists and relevant literature review, this paper analyzes the themes and symbolic connotations of Rongjiang Miao batik fish motifs, reveals the historical and cultural connotations of Rongjiang batik motifs, and summarizes the visual aesthetic characteristics of Miao fish motifs. Another focus of this paper is to interpret the formal beauty of the patterns in depth by using the aesthetic analysis methods of compositional elements, compositional forms, laws of beauty and aesthetic features.
