The lines appearing in Yi ornaments are spontaneous expression elements of Yi's nature, life reality and national myth form, and are the aggregation and prominence of tangible structures independent of the depicted objects. It forms a conscious visual communication through the viewer's subjective association, and these lines have different visual communication effects because of their different arrangement thickness. For example, the intersection or parallelism of two lines can remind us of the boundary of a plane or a space, such as latitude and longitude lines, fence lines, knot lines, fishing net lines and so on. It often appears in Yi ornaments. The angled combination of three lines can remind me of a three-dimensional space. Embroidery in ......................................., such as Yi ornaments, often uses the principle of three lines to highlight the sense of volume of ornaments, so that viewers can connect things with space. Arranging and combining more lines in a controlled and orderly way can enable us to form representative images according to our own life experience, such as China landscape, orchids, flowers and birds, ink paintings and so on. In fact, just like Yi art, it is a simple self-awareness presentation of lines, a feeling of freedom and elegance, which expresses the charm, strength and strength of things through a few strokes.

Second, the color analysis:

The color of Yi ornaments is the main color, which is in sharp contrast, expressing the simple and sincere enthusiasm of Yi people and their thoughts and feelings of worshipping nature and ancestors. Most of the colors in Yi ornaments have a unified color tendency, which gives people a very strong and lively visual enjoyment. On the whole, Yi ornaments attach great importance to the expression of light sense, and attach great importance to the adjustment of color brightness and the change of color scale in the selection of color system of ornaments, so that the colors look distinctive and beautiful. On the basis of black, it shows the great appeal of red, yellow and black, which is a typical representative of strengthening the relationship between primary and secondary with bold and bright colors on the premise of conforming to the color rhythm.

Yi art is influenced by national culture.

It is worth noting that the social system of the Yi people developed late, and it was not until the founding of New China that they changed their slavery and embarked on a socialist system. Therefore, Yi people's ornaments will also have more or less factors to distinguish the level of slavery and family support. This is mainly reflected in the color division and totem symbols of Yi ornaments. For example, the Yi people use the color difference of clothing to naturally divide the noble and non-noble grades of men in black and women in white. Of course, there is a finer division between black Yi and white Yi, which requires a smaller color distinction. The predictive function of color is not only the symbolic meaning expressed by color, but also related to the religious customs and living habits of Yi people. For example, the Yi people's totem worship of tigers gave birth to a branch of the Yi people called "Luoluopu", so there will be more tiger totem images in their ornaments, while the waterside people will have more frog images in their ornaments because of their worship of frog totem. The symbolic function of totem is not only the humanistic care and sense of belonging embodied in the totem image itself, but also the deep emotional recognition and thinking of the Yi people on their own origin under the influence of the Yi people's creation epic Meige and Yi myths and legends.

Besides being the carrier of national culture, another important factor that makes Leshan Yi costumes immortal is their artistic value. As far as Leshan Yi ornaments are concerned, there is no doubt that there are rich differences in the forms of expression in our whole Chinese family. This difference is not mutually negative and exclusive in artistic communication and development, but mutually complementary and referential, thus awakening our artistic thoughts.

Leshan Yi people's clothing bears the spiritual hints of a nation, is the expression of a nation's conscious or unconscious external experience, and is the perfect unity of Yi people's art and life. The rhythm of lines and colors, dynamic life and emotional expression of Yi ornaments. As a form of artistic creation, Yi ornaments in Leshan express things in the intuitive world in a very simple and simple way, and also express Yi people's thoughts, concepts, attitudes, feelings, fantasies, symbols and even abstract forms.

In a word, Yi ornaments are a heavy handicraft, which has its unique style and research value among the existing folk handicrafts. Yi ornaments are the aesthetic expression of Yi people to nature and the bearing entity of Yi ancestors' aesthetic consciousness. The materials used are coarse cloth, twine, wood, leather, bamboo, gold and silver, etc. Simple and simple structure, with the formal beauty of texture; The pigments used are easily available mineral pigments and plant pigments, which are naturally bright; The modeling and organization of decorative patterns make full use of the principle of formal beauty; In various production techniques, it shows superb artistic talent, skills and unique aesthetic methods, and has rich space for free imagination.

Aside from the concrete embodiment of Yi people in Yi ornaments, the real significance of Yi ornaments to our art field lies in the embodiment of their own aesthetic feeling. The so-called aesthetic feeling is the regular and rhythmic pleasure of human beings in the lines, colors and blocks of things and the symbolic meaning of the combination of human beings and natural society.

Additional remarks

In the research process, this topic refers to a wealth of Yi-ology materials and artistic theories, but it does not directly refer to the materials and theories themselves. But through the cooperation of all our team members and tutors, Qi Xin, combined with on-the-spot observation and investigation, formed his own academic language and theoretical exposition different from the original materials. This is a brand-new exploration of the thesis theory and research methods. The background and arts and crafts of the Yi people mainly refer to comprehensive and authoritative materials.
