| Introduction | Organized by New Era University College and planned by the Institute of International Education, the "International Academic and Cultural Exchange Series" lectures will be held periodically in 2025. The series invites distinguished scholars and experts from both domestic and international institutions who have made significant achievements in their research fields. The fourth lecture in this series will be delivered by Dr. Liu Liuhan from Chongqing Technology and Business University, China. Her lecture is titled "Patterns of the Tang Dynasty: Cultural Genes and Research Paths of Animal Motifs in Textiles”. This lecture will deconstruct current research findings on animal motifs in Tang dynasty textile and apparel patterns, outlining their historical context, typological lineage, and artistic paradigms. It will also uncover the underlying ritual-cultural genes and cross-regional transmission logic. Furthermore, the lecture will review the research methodology, offering both methodological insights and innovative inspiration for traditional pattern studies. |
