Abstract
Lacquerware is one of the oldest traditional handicrafts in China. Pingyao lacquer art began in the Spring and Autumn Period, developed better in the Tang Dynasty, and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when Pingyao lacquerware was exported both at home and abroad with the continuous development of Jin merchant culture. Pingyao lacquer art gained popularity as a handicraft culture of the time. The lacquer decorative ornaments of this period were also influenced by religion and rulers on top of that, forming a fine and rich style characteristic. At the same time, its different themes and painting styles reflect the outlook and spirituality of the local people. This study takes the animal and plant ornamentation of Pingyao lacquerware in the Ming and Qing dynasties as the main object, based on a large number of photographic materials, and systematically analyzes and summarizes the morphological categories and cultural implications of the decorative ornamentation of Pingyao lacquerware through literature and fieldwork, which is an in-depth investigation and study of the animal and plant ornamentation of Pingyao lacquerware, making up for the deficiencies of the existing decorative ornamentation studies, contributing to the inheritance and development of traditional decorative ornamentation, and providing a basis for modern decorative ornamentation design. It is also conducive to the inheritance and development of traditional decorative ornamentation and provides a basis for modern decorative ornament design.
