Abstract

The animal motifs within pearl roundels of the Tang Dynasty hold a significant position in the evolution of ancient Chinese decorative patterns. This article focuses on the Tang Dynasty Brocade with Pearl Roundel Facing Lions Pattern housed in the China National Silk Museum as the primary object of study. The analysis is divided into three parts- first, an examination of its technical characteristics and achievements; second, an exploration of its artistic features, including pattern design and color application; and finally, an investigation of its historical value within the context of historical development. The study also summarizes and organizes the relationship between its techniques, artistic expression, and stylistic attributes.
