Abstract

Tiles are one of the crucial components in ancient Chinese architecture, embodying significant functions of historical and cultural memory within their physical forms. As architectural elements, tiles exemplify the advanced level of ancient Chinese scientific and technological civilization; as representations of aesthetic symbols, they vividly reflect classical Chinese aesthetic ideas such as “observing objects to grasp their imagery” and “the unity of heaven and humanity.“ In the museum context, tiles undergo a process of symbolic encoding, classification, and knowledge production, and are narrated historically as cultural artifacts. This process constructs a discourse system concerning the material and spiritual civilization of ancient China, thereby fostering national identity and cultural confidence for the Chinese nation. Examining the value connotations of tiles art provides an effective pathway for understanding how “objects” participate in the shaping of social ideology and the generation of socio-cultural meanings.
