Abstract:The plant decorative patterns introduced by the propagation of Buddhism to the East facilitated the development of plant decorative patterns in ancient China. The spread of the Buddhist lotus patterns greatly promoted the prosperity of lotus pattern decoration in ancient China. Lotus patterns on the textile also gradually emerged with the spread of the Buddhist lotus patterns. Under their influence, textile lotus patterns evolved in shape, color, and the combination of lotus with other objects. The rosette form of Buddhist lotus patterns promoted the formation of rosette patterns on textiles in the Northern Dynasties and medallion patterns on textiles in the Tang Dynasty, which laid a foundation for the popularity of floral medallion motifs on traditional Chinese textiles. Based on the absorption of Buddhist lotus patterns and combined with secular life, native lotus patterns generated many new pattern forms and auspicious images. They were widely used on textiles when auspicious patterns were popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, promoting the enrichment and development of traditional Chinese textile patterns.
