Abstract:
This article studies the pattern design characteristics and elements of
Miao ethnic costumes in Changning County, Yunnan Province, aiming to integrate
these traditional elements into modern jewelry design. The study first analyzed the
artistic characteristics and production techniques of Changning Miao costumes, and
through literature research, field research, and creative research methods, deeply
explored the patterns, colors, and craftsmanship characteristics of Miao costumes.
Subsequently, through design experiments and production of works, the patterns and
shapes of Miao ethnic clothing elements such as town patterns, star patterns, group
labor patterns, bow and arrow patterns, and mountain and river patterns were
successfully applied to three sets of modern jewelry works, including "Unity",
"Prayer", and "Character Rhyme Embroidery Shadow". The study also conducted a
comprehensive evaluation of the design works through multidimensional
assessments, including feedback from the general consumer group, minority art
research experts, jewelry entrepreneurs, and jewelry design experts. The results
indicate that these works have performed well in aesthetics, cultural
representativeness, and market acceptance, effectively inheriting the Miao ethnic
costume culture and endowing it with new artistic vitality.
