Features: Chinese traditional patterns are an extremely important part of the great motherland's ancient culture, which spans five thousand years, and are a precious cultural heritage of our nation. They stand out uniquely in the world's artistic and cultural treasury, shining brilliantly. The author of this book has extensively collected many materials of Chinese traditional 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 selected, amounting to 762 pages. The 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. To be the most comprehensive and detailed reference book on Chinese traditional patterns; 2. To be illustrated with text, practical, and informative; 3. To have long-term reference and collectible value. It is hoped that through this book, peers in the field of arts and crafts can create new-era-inspired pattern motifs, allowing Chinese traditional patterns to flourish and be widely promoted.
