Abstract

Buddhist art originated with the emergence of Buddhism and has experienced continual innovation and development throughout history. Yingluo jewellery was introduced to China from India, with its form continuously incorporating ancient Chinese aesthetics in its inheritance and development. The designs of Ming Dynasty’s Yingluo jewellery exhibited a more secular and everyday trend. This article centres on the design of Ming Dynasty necklaces, using the Fahai Temple mural and the Yongxuan court statues as representative examples. The article summarises the distinct artistic features of Ming Dynasty necklaces and explores their aesthetics, focusing on three aspects: shape structure, colour matching, and pattern design. Additionally, 3D digital modelling is employed to revitalise and restore the necklaces’ beauty. Technical abbreviations will be explained upon first usage, and the text adheres to standard academic formatting and language conventions. The objective is to enhance national cultural confidence, bridge the gap between cultural heritage, appreciate the allure of traditional art treasures, and revive cultural artifacts. The infusion of rich cultural nuances into contemporary jewellery design, integration of traditional artistic components into modern aesthetics, and merging exceptional Ming Dynasty necklace works with contemporary aesthetic context, facilitates the seamless integration of outstanding culture into contemporary society.
