As a key cultural carrier of the Han Dynasty, stone reliefs encapsulate rich historical and cultural information, while traditional Chinese patterns are characterized by distinct structural order. Integrating these two elements and expressing them via contemporary visual forms provides valuable insights for cultural inheritance, artistic innovation, and the integration of traditional culture with modern life. Innovatively reinterpreting Han stone relief patterns in combination with contemporary design concepts can effectively promote the inheritance and dissemination of traditional culture and meet contemporary users’ diverse demands for cultural and creative products.
