Abstract

As important objects in Chinese folklore, ancient locks have a long history and close connection with the traditional culture. This article explores the various forms and symbolic meanings contained in Chinese ancient locks, aiming to articulate the cultural connotations shown in them. The different forms, techniques of expression, the exploration of human nature and pursuit of artistic purity embodied in ancient Chinese locks have great value for modern design, and function positively in traditional Chinese culture inheritance and development.
