Abstract

Based on field investigation, literature study and expert interview, this paper classifies the decorative patterns on Qingyang sachets into shape-oriented, meaning-oriented and homophone-oriented three types with the aim to uncover the Confucianism, Taoism and the local folk thoughts embodied in these patterns. The result shows that the Confucianism doctrine embodied in the patterns includes neutralism, harmony between man and nature, sense of hierarchy, principle of strength-borrowing, and the idea of filial piety. The Daoism doctrine embodied in the patterns includes Taoist regimen, unity of Heaven and Man etc. The local folk thoughts embodied in the patterns include the concept of male chauvinism, carrying on the family line, and spirits worship, and perfectionism, pursuit of wealth, drawing on advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
