บทคัดย่อ

          Chuxiong's contemporary visual culture is distinguished by its rich diversity and the seamless integration of traditional Chinese cultural elements, ethnic minority influences, and modern aesthetics. This fusion creates a distinctive and dynamic artistic expression. Within this multicultural blend, Yi culture and bronze patterns play a significant role in shaping contemporary visual culture of Chuxiong.

This study conducts research on the contemporary use and display of Wanjiaba bronze patterns and Yi patterns through methods such as field research, literature review and collection, comparative analysis, and interview surveys.It assesses their proper application, identifies any alterations made, and explores their relevance to contemporary art and cultural heritage. By pinpointing areas where patterns may be confused or misused, the research aims to enhance the effective propagation and exhibition of these designs,thereby supporting cultural development and the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage in the Chuxiong region.The research findings indicate that some ancient patterns are no longer in use, while others have been inherited by the ancient Yi people and integrated into Yi culture. These patterns appear in modern visual culture in a different form, yet many local residents are largely unaware of the connection between Wanjiaba bronze drum patterns and contemporary patterns.
