STUDY ON THE LOONG PATTERN ART OF THE COMPONENTS IN DONGYANG ANCIENT RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS

Abstract

This study examines the creative qualities, aesthetic worth, and cultural and social importance of the loong pattern decorative art found in Dongyang ancient homes. Loong designs, which convey rich historical and cultural knowledge and exhibit morphological variation and excellent craftsmanship, are commonly utilised in Dongyang ancient dwellings and are considered the spiritual symbol of Chinese civilisation. The study reveals the artistic value and cultural heritage of dragon patterns in Dongyang ancient residences by methodically documenting and analysing the morphological changes, decorative techniques, and social and cultural significance of dragon patterns through literature research and field investigation. According to the study, loong patterns play a significant role in Dongyang old homes as decorative art. Its aesthetic worth comes from its clever integration with other auspicious patterns as well as its exhibition of symmetry and formal beauty. The evolution of dragon designs is a reflection of shifts in aesthetic conceptions and social culture. The forms and decorative techniques evolved from simple to complex, from rough to delicate, between the middle of the Ming Dynasty and the end of the Qing Dynasty. Additionally, the employment of dragon designs accurately depicts the social structure and class distinctions of the era. The architectural art of Dongyang's ancient homes is preserved and passed down thanks to this study, which also offers a fresh viewpoint on Chinese traditional culture, fosters respect and understanding of traditional culture, and encourages the modernisation and innovation of traditional architectural art. In addition to offering inspiration and a point of reference for contemporary architecture and environmental decoration art, a thorough examination of the dragon pattern decorative art may help us comprehend the qualities and significance of Dongyang's historic residential building.
