- Abstract
The human world is a world of symbols, which originates from the natural physiological response of human body and forms the public behavior through common cognition. The use of symbols contributes to the communication mode of consciousness information expression. Decoration is a symbol in the world of colorful symbols, an indispensable and necessary part of life. In addition to keeping warm, protecting the body and beauty, it is also a form of human expression of emotion and self-expression, and also shows the features of all social classes. The Rukai nationality in Taiwan is an ethnic group without written language. The application of pattern implies the social class, customs and cultural context of the ethnic group. Based on the relevant literature records, field records, field interviews and comprehensive analysis, this paper discusses the pattern decoration of Rukai nationality from the perspective of semiotics: the nature, origin and significance of behavior of marks. It is hoped to arouse people’s understanding of the traditional pattern decoration of the Rukai people in Taiwan, and to care about their traditional culture and inheritance.
