"Guanyin, Gibbons and Crane" is a Japanese national treasure, a triptych of hanging scrolls, created by the Buddhist monk Muxi in the Southern Song dynasty. This paper attempts to deconstruct the image. While studying the spatiality of the image, it deeply digs into the religious, cultural, social, and communication attributes behind the symbols. This paper proposes to rely on the transformation of the cultural context of the Maritime Silk Road images, deconstructs their images, interprets Avalokitesvara (Guanyin), crane, and gibbon as figurative symbols, and analyzes their extension of meaning in the perspective of Chinese Chan; and explores the process of schema transformation under the change of cultural and religious context, that is, the image form of the triptych was born in response of the Japanese Zen and tea ceremony culture.
