On the Interpretive Path and Value of Artworks in Ideology

Abstract

In recent years, there have been controversies over the aesthetics of "uglification" of Chinese people, whose artworks, manipulated by Western ideology, present Asian faces with "squinty eyes", a feature of Oriental features imagined by the West. The cultural genes carried by this symbol have been accepted by the people for a long time, and the role of its subtle influence in the ideological field cannot be underestimated. Based on the report of the 20th Party Congress, which pointed out that "ideological work is the work of establishing the heart of the country and the soul of the nation," the construction of a socialist ideology with strong cohesive force and leading power is taken as a strategic task. Taking art works at home and abroad as the research object, and analyzing the theory of "Orientalism" of Said and the theory of "Neo-Orientalism" of Lukeng, it is of great significance to explore the important layout of China's art works in the path of enhancing the right of ideological discourse. It is of great significance.
