Research on the Decoding and Innovative Design Framework of the Chinese Song Brocade Eight-Treasures Halo Pattern (Badayun Pattern) Based on Gene Theory

This study adopts Cultural Gene Theory as its foundation to decode the structural framework, colour system, and symbolic semantics of the Eight-Treasures Halo Pattern in Chinese Song Brocade. By constructing a Cultural Gene Map and applying the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method, both explicit and implicit cultural factors are quantitatively evaluated. Key visual features and semantic meanings are extracted as the basis for redesign. The study proposes a systematic methodology linking traditional patterns, cultural symbols, and modern design, offering theoretical support and practical models for pattern recognition, visual communication, and cultural innovation in the context of intangible cultural heritage (ICH).
