Abstract

Animal head applique is an important part of Chinese traditional door leaf. Started with the origin and evolution of animal head applique, this paper is to study its original practical functions in Shanxi. I propose some ideas to improve the traditional animal head applique and apply it on the modern doors, so that people can accept and understand this long-standing decoration method and it can be preserved as the cultural heritage. Thus, the significance of the traditional components is illustrated and further the irreplaceability of the animal head appliques is demonstrated.
