摘要:开平碉楼作为广东省首个世界文化遗产，是近代华侨文化的标志性符号，其建筑门楣壁画融合了中国传统绘画、岭南民俗元素与西方装饰艺术，成为研究中西文化交融的珍贵实物资料。本文从文化交融的视角，通过对开平碉楼建筑门楣壁画的田野调查、图像采集与文献梳理，系统分析其视觉符号的特征、构成规律与表意功能。研究揭示，门楣壁画的视觉符号形成"中西合璧"的独特系统，不仅体现于题材、构图与色彩的融合，更在深层蕴含侨民群体的集体记忆、身份认同与文化适应。同时，本文结合数字化技术与活化策略，探讨门楣壁画的保护与传承路径，为侨乡文化遗产的系统研究提供理论支持与实践参考。

Its lintel murals, blendingtraditional Chinese painting, Lingnan folk elements, and Western decorative arts, serve asinvaluable material for studying the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures. This paper, from theperspective of cultural integration, systematically analyzes the characteristics, compositionalrules, and expressive functions of the visual symbols in the lintel murals of Kaiping Diaolouthrough fieldwork, image collection, and literature review. The research reveals that the visualsymbols of the lintel murals form a unique system of "Chinese and Western integration," not only reflected in the fusion of themes, composition, and colors, but also deeply containing thecollective memory, identity, and cultural adaptation of the overseas Chinese community.Furthermore, this paper explores the protection and inheritance paths of the lintel murals bycombining digital technology and revitalization strategies, providing theoretical support andpractical reference for the systematic study of overseas Chinese cultural heritage.
