Abstract

This study focuses on the folk art design of Manchu decorative motifs in China, exploring their relationship with ancestors, neighbouring regions and the universe, and revealing their visual presentation laws and cultural and social values through textual interpretation and dissection. Combining qualitative and quantitative methods, the study analyses the historical and cultural background of Manchu decorative motifs and their transmutation in contemporary culture, with the aim of systematically collating and researching outstanding folk art design culture, and refining the design laws and wisdom with Chinese characteristics, in order to develop and enhance the level of Chinese design, and to strengthen the soft power of culture.
