Abstract

Chinese traditional decorative patterns are a unique humanistic art paradigm with oriental poetic charm that has emerged in the development process of Chinese decorative art. They express the aesthetic trends and aesthetic practices of Chinese decorative art. Based on the understanding of the three characteristics of the poetic connotations of Chinese traditional decorative patterns, namely "poetic semantics", "harmonious aesthetic feeling", and "inclusive nature", this paper attempts to present the root aesthetic logic in the tradition of decorative art from an oriental context. It also hopes to create an internal cultural identity with poetic connotations in modern design through this exploration.
