Dongba Paintings Multi-Label Emotion Classification Dataset

The established sample library covers core cultural scenarios such as traditional prayer & eulogy, nature worship and mythological narration, presenting the Naxi people’s cognitive system of all natural creatures, ritual traditions and social life.Drawing on the research team’s preliminary achievements in cultural semantic parsing, combined with textual research of Naxi cultural classics and historical documents, this study first classifies Dongba painting images into five categories by creative themes: deities, plants, animals, human figures and ghosts.

Furthermore, a 14-dimensional emotion classification system is constructed according to the emotional semantics conveyed by the visual symbols of the paintings, which specifically includes approval, bloom, calm, devil, fly, guard, negative, neutral, positive, rest, wilt, work, worried and defensive. The corresponding English labels in the experimental dataset are: approval, bloom, calm, devil, fly, guard, negative, neutral, positive, rest, wilt, work, worried and defensive.The above emotion categories are inherent attributes of the Dongba painting dataset.
