RESEARCH ON THE INTEGRATION OF HINDU STONE PILLAR DECORATION PATTERNS IN KAIYUAN TEMPLE QUANZHOUBASED ON PIERCE'S SEMIOTIC THEORY
The purpose of this article is to study the decorative patterns of Hindu stone pillars in Kaiyuan Temple,Quanzhou.By analyzing and observing the forms,contours,textures,and other elements of the patterns on the pillars,it reveals the fusion of Chinese and Indian culture and the symbolic significance they contain.And based on Pierce's semiotic theory,the interpretation of pattern characteristics can deeply understand the essential laws behind creation,providing reference and inspiration for subsequent research on the integration of Chinese and Indian patterns and artistic creation.The survey results indicate that the pattern with Chinese characteristics as the main feature and Indian characteristics as the auxiliary is a more acceptable form of expression for the local people after its graphic fusion flows into Quanzhou.The research conclusion shows that the stone pillars reflect traditional Chinese graphic elements,which is a concrete manifestation of the sinicization of Hindu patterns,with strong local uniqueness and Sino-Indian integration.This has important reference significance for promoting the evolution of pattern decoration and cultural inheritance research in the future,enriching the field of pattern forms and symbol changes,and exploring the integration and recreation of Chinese and Indian patterns.
