Tang Dynasty Style Butterfly Golden Branches and Jade Leaves Mirror

Work Inspiration: Chinese idiom, golden branches and jade leaves.

Tang Dynasty · Wang Jian's words in The Palace Laughter: “Butterfly, butterfly, fly on the golden branches and jade leaves.”

Inspiration Carrier: Tang Mirror

The Tang Dynasty was the golden age of ancient Chinese bronze mirror making. Tang mirrors not only inherited the cultural traditions of the Han and Wei Dynasties but also absorbed the artistic achievements of border ethnic groups. At the same time, they also incorporated and blended the best aspects of foreign cultures (mainly Persian and Indian), creating more refined designs, and reaching a new peak in bronze mirror art.

Modern Tang style mirrors are often used for decoration. Their opulent and intricate patterns are especially beloved by women who appreciate ancient Chinese culture, frequently seen in cosplay and photography.

Creative Process:

Based on the theme of golden branches and jade leaves, and leveraging modern 3D printing technology, combined with modern aesthetics, we utilized the form of ancient Tang mirrors as a vessel, incorporating diverse cultural connotations, to achieve the final presentation.
