Abstract

The “transformation” of Sun Wukong in fine art works is the manifestation of aesthetic ideology. As a well-known mythical character, Sun Wukong’s image is an important topic of art creation, which plays an important role in the construction of national cultural image, art creation and art education. Since the 1950s and 1960s, Sun Wukong had been very active. This article analyzes and thinks about the “transformation” of Sun Wukong in art works from the “plasticity” of Sun Wukong since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The typical works that represent the image of Sun Wukong since the founding of the People’s Republic are analyzed with the research methods of literature, semiotics and culturology. Also, this paper explores the cultural metaphor and motivation behind the “transformation” of Sun Wukong in different periods, so as to provide theoretical support for the artistic creation, application and development of the theme of Sun Wukong.
