In the Tang Dynasty, peony patterns had the following characteristics: - ** Development History **: Before the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, no one had ever seen peony patterns. Peonies probably evolved from pomegranate patterns. After the Kaiyuan period, peonies became popular for a while and were known as the "grand event of the country". Their images began to appear in many fields such as painting, gold and silver ware, stone carving, and architectural art. In the decorative theme of porcelain, peonies even replaced the common lotus flowers since the Northern and Southern Dynasties and became the most popular decorative content at that time. Ding Kiln, Yaozhou Kiln, Yue Kiln, and Cizhou Kiln all had a large number of peonies. - ** Art Style **: The Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain's peony pattern style is very childlike. It uses the original single-line flat painting technique, and the pattern is simple. As time went by, the style of painting was further developed, and different decorative patterns appeared. The scope of application involved almost all fields. The peony decorative patterns were also combined with the Tang Dynasty's "round" concept of creation, transmitting the special world view and unique artistic style of the Tang Dynasty. For example, the pattern of the round nest pattern was composed of individual decorative patterns into a circle, and then organized into a continuous pattern according to the rules. The peony petals in the center showed a multi-layered performance from the inside to the outside, and the outer petals and peony leaves intertwined with each other. Most of them were mainly six petals, which had the characteristics of perfection and realism. - ** Techniques and Forms of Performance **: Techniques of performance include engraving, printing, painting, etc. The patterns were in the form of flowers, standing trees, twining branches, broken branches, etc. For example, the twining peony pattern inherited the rules of the twining pattern, forming a tight and regular two-sided continuous or four-sided continuous pattern, which increased the natural interest with the rhythmic undulation of the neat circle, the different angles of the flowers, and the different flipping of the petals and leaves. The twining peony pattern was an independent pattern with more freedom, less continuous and repetitive, and easier to get rid of the shackles of the pattern. Different kilns had different decorative techniques. Ding Kiln mostly used printed peonies, Yaozhou Kiln mostly carved peonies, Yue Kiln mostly carved peonies, and Cizhou Kiln mostly painted peony patterns.
