Traditional Chinese Auspicious Ornaments in the System of Decorative and Applied Arts: Problems of Adaptation in Modern Interior Textiles

This article explores problems of artistic form-creation and the adaptation of cultural heritage in the fi eld of decorative and applied arts, using traditional Chinese auspicious ornaments as an example. It focuses on the methodology for transforming these
visual systems in the context of a modern object-spatial environment, particularly in interior textiles. Overcoming the limitations of existing research, which focuses primarily on classification and iconography, the work proposes a theoretical three-level model (“semantics — context — pragmatics”) and specific strategies for artistic adaptation. The model is based on the principles of semantic analysis and receptive aesthetics, and its application is demonstrated in the practice of contemporary artistic design. The scientific novelty lies in the development of a comprehensive methodological approach that ensures the preservation and actualisation of traditional ornamental heritage through its organic inclusion in contemporary artistic practices and design.
