Abstract

This paper addresses the challenges faced in preserving the lion motifs in wooden structures from the Ming and Qing dynasties in China. Focusing on these motifs, it explores digital methods for the revitalization and transmission of decorative designs in wooden architecture, offering insights for the development of intangible cultural heritage (ICH). By examining the rich cultural value of the Chinese lion motif and leveraging contemporary digital technologies, the paper selects samples from Ming and Qing wooden structures. Using archaeological typology as the foundation, the lion motifs are initially classified based on their architectural components, and further differentiated by dynamic changes, overall features, and decorative elements. Through this classification, the various forms, combinations, and cultural meanings of lion motifs in Ming and Qing wooden structures are clarified. The motifs’ material and spiritual cultural values are extracted and reinterpreted, with the use of digital technologies to create a mobile app that promotes the preservation, transmission, and innovation of these motifs.
