Abstract
The Dong ethnic minority in southwest China possesses a distinctive cultural heritage. Dong's painting emerges as a unique and diverse form within Dong's artistic endeavors, capturing the essence of daily life among the Dong people. Regrettably, Dong paintings often endure neglect compared to the more recognized Dong architectural art. To revive appreciation for Dong culture, this study delves into traditional Dong folk paintings, aiming to discern various painting types and explore the impact of these traditional forms on contemporary Dong paintings. The similarities and differences between traditional Dong folk painting and contemporary Dong painting are obtained through the investigation and artistic practice of the Dong nationality. It mainly focuses on literature analysis, case studies, and art practice-based research. This investigation reveals that contemporary Dong paintings continue incorporating and reinterpreting symbols, architectural motifs, and dress patterns from traditional Dong folk art. This continuity in artistic expression contributes significantly to preserving and disseminating Dong culture in evolving artistic forms.
