Application of the Honeysuckle Pattern in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in Jewelry Design

Abstract

The honeysuckle pattern is a traditional Chinese pattern. It was introduced into China in the Wei, Jin, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties and combined with the cloud pattern of the Han Dynasty to form the unique traditional pattern. Its inherent cultural meaning and design concept are indispensable parts of modern design theory, and the study of honeysuckle pattern in that period provides a deep understanding of the history and culture of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The article starts with the relevant literature, sorts out the types of the honeysuckle patterns in the Wei, Jin, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties and analyzes their inner implications. This article also studies the relationship between the honeysuckle pattern and modern jewelry design and discusses the feasible manufacturing techniques and materials. Finally, the design practice is carried out by combining the structure and cultural connotation of the honeysuckle pattern of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties with modern jewelry design. The article uses jewelry design to inherit Chinese traditional patterns and puts forward some thoughts, hoping to better integrate Chinese traditional patterns into jewelry design, and show a jewelry of modern aesthetic without losing China's national characteristics.
