    Abstract:

    Huashan rock artworks in Ningming County are ancient paintings drawn on cliffs by the Luo Yue people (ancestors of the Zhuang people) from the 5th century B.C. to the 2nd century AD. As remnants reflecting the religious activities of these ancient people, the rock artworks have significant historical and cultural values, as well as artistic charms. However, during the past two millennia or more, a series of relic diseases such as cracking, peeling and fading, etc., due to the effects of geological and environmental factors, have resulted in unclear and incomplete images, which seriously affect the integrity of the pictures and create difficulties for research work. Similar to “Quan Se” and “Jie Bi”(two methods of painting and calligraphy restoration), we adopted a panoramic overview of these disease-damaged rock artworks, looking at them from an artistic perspective in order to restore their original images as much as possible. The results not only have great significance in terms of further investigations into intent of the Luo Yue people in painting them, understandings of the pictorial information and studies of combination ways of the rock images, but also provide basic analysis and evaluation data for rock art restoration in the future, and technical references for identification of similar rock art images.
