Features: Traditional Chinese patterns are an extremely important part of the great motherland's five thousand-year-old culture, a precious cultural heritage of our Chinese nation, standing out uniquely in the world's artistic and cultural treasury, shining brilliantly. The author has extensively collected many materials of traditional Chinese pattern motifs, repeatedly studied them, absorbed their essence, and designed tens of thousands of sketches. Further, through pattern variation, refinement, exaggeration, combination, and beautification, a total of 2,971 motifs were finally selected, amounting to 762 pages, and the entire book is divided into eight major categories and 335 types. This book can provide systematic traditional pattern motifs and textual materials for the design of ceramics, dyeing and weaving, embroidery, machine embroidery, carpets, tapestries, carving, clay sculpture, paper-cutting, lacquerware, clothing, knotting, kites, toys, and other daily handicrafts. The purpose of compiling this book is: 1. A comprehensive and detailed reference book on traditional Chinese patterns; 2. Illustrated with both text and images, practical and informative; 3. Possessing long-term reference and collectible value. It is hoped that through this book, colleagues in the field of arts and crafts can, by striking the first stone, create pattern motifs with a new era's spirit, allowing traditional Chinese patterns to be promoted and glorified.
