ABSTRACT

The murals in the tombs of Liao Dynasty reflect the cosmological concept of Qidan people. This paper takes the figure paintings and flower and bird paintings in Liao tombs as the research object to explore the relationship between schema and cosmology, as well as the transportation between the East and the west developed by Liao Dynasty. The change of Liao Dynasty fresco style in different periods reflects the change of cosmology under the influence of multi-ethnic culture.
