The mapping from biological to cultural ecological niches is a guide to finding the most suitable ecological niches in a system of individuals or populations.

This paper analyzes and summarizes the artistic features and expressions of Han Dynasty portrait bricks in Zhejiang Province, China, and constructs an analysis model of Han portrait bricks under ecological evolution.
