Archetype is a kind of image or model that is ubiquitous in the human mind, and it is a primitive cognition and expression of human beings about the world and themselves. In psychology, archetypes are considered to be part of the collective human unconscious, which can be repeatedly experienced and expressed in different cultural and historical contexts.
For example, in Western culture, the word "hero" is a common archetype that represents courage, strength, and justice. In Chinese culture, the "dragon" is an important archetype, which represents mystery, power, and auspiciousness. These archetypes are repeatedly experienced and expressed in different cultural and historical contexts, so that they become part of the collective human unconscious.
Archetypes can have an impact on an individual's behavior and emotions because they are a primitive human perception and expression of the world and oneself. For example, when an individual is faced with a challenge, they may see themselves as heroes and inspire their courage and strength to tackle the challenge.
In addition, archetypes can also be seen as cultural symbols that are repeatedly experienced and expressed in different cultural and historical contexts, so that they become part of the collective human unconscious.
