Tiangong Kaiwu (The Exploitation of the Works of Nature) is a monograph focusing on scientific and technological crafts. It provides detailed explanations and precise records of the production processes, material selection, and material characteristics of various artifacts. Its presentation of the connotations of “technique” (practical skills) and “art” (wisdom in creation) aligns closely with the core principles of “technique” and “art” as defined in The Biographies of Artists. Some of the technical processes recorded in Tiangong Kaiwu involve patterns. In its three-dimensional patterns of artifact art, one can observe the elegant and pristine porcelain forms resembling “plain muscle and jade bones”, as well as the bell and cauldron shapes and decorative designs that encompass both “refined and coarse, grand and minute”. Whether it is the exquisite patterns in silk weaving, where “each pass of the shuttle” resembles the craftsmanship of the Weaving Maid, or the decorative printing and dyeing techniques characterized by the “application of diverse colors”, all reflect the core philosophy of Tiangong Kaiwu, which deeply integrates and synchronously advances pattern design with artifact technology. The patterns involved in Tiangong Kaiwu are rare documentary materials in Chinese pattern studies and hold significant documentary value and historical significance for the construction and development of the Chinese pattern system.
