随着南北朝佛教艺术的兴盛,中国的花卉装饰也骤然增多,并逐渐代替神兽、云气纹成为装饰的主流。这一变化首先受到印度佛教花卉崇拜的深刻影响;同时,也通过印度佛教艺术间接地接受了中亚和希腊-罗马风格的花卉纹样。它们激发了中国对花卉装饰的兴趣,并从审美需求和吉祥象征两方面形成了具有典型中国风格的花卉纹样,一直流传至今。 With the flourishing of Buddhist art in Southern and Northern Dynasties, the flower decoration in China also increased suddenly, and gradually replaced the sacred animal. The cloud pattern became the mainstream of decoration. This change was first and foremost impressed by the worship of Indian Buddhist flowers. At the same time, Central Asian and Greek-Roman floral patterns were indirectly accepted through Indian Buddhist art. They have inspired China’s interest in floral decoration and have formed flower patterns of typical Chinese style from both aesthetic needs and auspicious symbols, which have been circulating ever since.
