We try to apply minicomputer to analyze larger visual text in the cultural research field, so as to replace those vague art reviews by data visual design with inquiry as clue and to challenge the depth of cultural research. In this way, visual culture researchers can not only directly see the research objects but also can observe the association in the temporal scenario that accurate detection in a micro sense and wide observation in a macro sense, and finally they will make the reliable judgement.
