In order to deeply study the cultural connotation, shape, color and other artistic elements of the brick carvings of auspicious animals, the brick carvings of unicorns, magpies and cranes in the Han Dynasty were taken as research objects, and high-powered microscopes and 3D scanners were used as auxiliary tools for analysis. First of all, we refer to relevant historical documents to collect information on brick carvings. Then, the lines and colors of the brick carvings were mapped to find out the characteristics of the brick carvings of auspicious animals in the Han Dynasty. Finally, the characteristics of brick carving are integrated into modern cultural and creative design to provide support for cultural and creative design. The results show that the lines of brick carving in the Han Dynasty are soft, mainly seal carving, and the materials are mainly glazed and blue bricks. The color of brick carving is mainly based on the natural color of bricks, and some are characterized by the blue and yellow glass. The posture of the mascot animal carved in brick is gentle, but it does not lose its majesty, so it has the role of symbolizing auspiciousness and town. Therefore, the shape of the auspicious animal in the Han Dynasty is like a feather, the lines are soft, and the colors are mainly blue and yellow, which can provide a reference for cultural and creative design.
