Study on the Artistic and Cultural Value of Tile Cats in Heqing, Yunnan Province

Abstract

As one of the roof beasts in Yunnan, tile cat has strong regional characteristics and cultural connotations in the long-term development of Yunnan Dali Bai folk culture. The article studies the artistic and cultural value of the tile cat in Heqing, Yunnan, in terms of its regional profile, origin, material, shape, colour and cultural symbolism. The tile cat as a regional symbol will run through the whole process of Heqing ethnic culture, promote the development of Dali ethnic minority areas through cultural inheritance, provide more literature references for the tile cat culture, and promote the development of the non-heritage culture of China's roof beasts.
