Literary iconography is a new knowledge in the new era. "The relationship between literature and images" is a topic of widespread concern in the entire literary, cultural and intellectual circles, including literary theory, and is highly realistic. "Literary iconography" advocates paying equal attention to text and pictures. It is different from the simple examination of text, looking directly at images from literature, or looking back at literature from images. It advocates starting from the basic standpoint of literary research, focusing on image research, and taking the study of the relationship between pictures and text as the core. It also explores the narrative function of images around the historical context of the production, presentation, consumption, dissemination, and evolution of literary images, and sorts out the communication and interaction of literary images in different cultural contexts, thereby laying the foundation for the construction of a new disciplinary branch "literary iconography."
