October-December 2009 JOURNAL OF EURASIAN STUDIES Volume I., Issue 4. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Fig. 5. Adornations of mirrors of Chinese origin. Their symmetry is remarkable: D3(mg) type dihedral rotational pattern with mg type frieze (left, in aligned form the frieze is below), and D12(g) type cyclic rotational pattern with g type frieze at the edge of the mirror (right, in aligned form the frieze is up) from the Chinese art. (Bérczi, 2009.) In the central portion of the left mirror there is a C11(2) type cyclic rotational pattern with 2 type frieze (if aligned). The movement is important in the art. Hunting, fighting, horse-riding scenes are shown from the National Museum of Beijing, from the Military History Museum of Biejing, from the National Museums of Xian and Hohhot, the Shimane Museum of the Ancient Izumo, The National Museum of Tokyo and Nara, and the National Museum of Soul. The drawings from these museums are the most exciting and they give emphasis and trigger for the readers to visit these excellent sites for studies of the ancient arts of Eurasia. These scenes can be found even on the vessels and table-ware, especially rhytons. We find the rhyton-resembling jars in Korea, too. Fig. 6. Adornation of a Chinese vessel with emphasis by the coloring to the double-frieze pattern of t-mg type. _____________________________________________________________________________________ © Copyright Mikes International 2001-2009 48
October-December 2009 JOURNAL OF EURASIAN STUDIES Volume I., Issue 4. _____________________________________________________________________________________ As we did in our earlier booklets, here we also study some ornamental mathematics of the Eurasian people. On the back side of the mirror there are friezes arranged in circular form (Fig 4. and 5.). On belt buckles and mounts, on horse-mounts and on dresses such ornements rich double and plane symmetry patterns, (and even composite plane symmetry patterns) occur. The author first described a duoblefrieze of t-mg type from China, on a bronze vessel (Fig. 6.). We also show the most simple double friezes int he booklet, too. Fig. 7. Adornation of a bronze vessel from China in the exhibition of old Eurasian art in Nara, Japan. East-Asian art exhibits a rich layered structure. The changes on one of the main lines can be shown by the animal fight scene: first they are naturally formulated, later they loose their dramatic character and transform to hunting scenes (like as the first warriors change and transform to country leaders). On the animal crowds of the Nara vessel (Fig. 7.) no fight is visible. The final hegemony and centralized force of the Chinese emperor can be visualized best on the backside cover image of a dragon ruling in the picture and even tiger and other water and air animals are only dependants in the strong state (Fig. 2.). However, the emperor states of Japan, China, Korea, Mandsuria and Mongolia, once or more in their history became donators of art of the state. This is another age of cultures, these represent more modern civilisations. Anyway, the rich traditions helped to preserve remnants of this colorful, art-rich world for us and the studies of the Eurasian arts also help us to survive modern life monotonies. Such study of the Eastern- Asian Arts in this booklet, we hope, give joy and amusement, good work and good thinking to our fellow who prefer art and mathematics, or art alone, with coloring the images and thinking the fate and destiny of old peoples, old nations, old tarditions. _____________________________________________________________________________________ © Copyright Mikes International 2001-2009 49
