Abstract

There are so many creations of snake themes in a large number of archaeological materials, which indicates our interest in snakes. The works of art taking snake as the theme can be seen everywhere even in today’s life. Snake always appears in works in different fields all over the world with a mysterious, evil and frightening power, such as literature, religion and so on. In addition, there are much more beautiful patterns and soft forms of snakes appearing in the fields of industrial arts and fashion design from ancient to modern times. I guess that the attention of people to snakes is an instinct, which is consistent with the love for snake patterns and shapes, with their corresponding brain structures. First of all, with the relevant materials of creations about snake, this study classifies them into literature, language art and religion. Besides, based on the theory of cognitive science, this paper summarizes the rapid detection of brain structure of primates to snakes with cognitive neuroscience. At the same time, with scientific and technological means like (fMRI) functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, it sorts out the experimental results of the brain region and neural mechanism of human brain's rapid perception of snakes by these brain-result images, summarizing the subcutaneous visual pathway for people to quickly perceive fear when encountering the threat and stimulation like snakes. It is concluded that people are born with fear of snakes. Secondly, this paper explains the aesthetic perceptions of brain to snakes, which are the beauty of patterns and forms. On the one hand, it summarizes the aesthetic characteristics of snake patterns, such as the symmetry, order and luster, as well as the favorable structure of the brain's perception of these characteristics. On the other hand, it analyzes the structure of people's preference for the spiral shape of snakes. This research aims to help people understand artistic behavior in a scientific way and provide scientific reference for the use of snakes in aesthetic theory research and in future artistic creation.
