Animals in Chinese Rebus Paintings
View through CrossRef
This essay discusses the role of animals in China rebus painting. The homophonic richness of Chinese is the linguistic foundation for using animal images in rebus painting, a richness that allows the use of animal names to make meaningful puns on multiple other words. In this sense, rebus painting is only part of a larger word-play tradition closely associated with the nature of the Chinese language and its literary tradition, and it is an important component of a long tradition invoking the auspicious. The rebus is not an isolated phenomenon in China but is closely associated with many other cultural phenomena.
