Research on Innovative Design Centered on the Decorative Art of Paper-Cut Style Ridge Beasts

In the innovative design based on the elements of traditional architectural roof ridge ornaments, this paper aims to deepen the contemporary expression of the auspicious symbolism of the roof ridge ornaments, to explore the integration path of traditional Chinese plastic arts and traditional techniques, and to further activate the contemporary value of the excellent traditional Chinese culture. This study takes the roof ridge decoration of the Hall of Supreme Harmony of the Forbidden City as a prototype, emphasizes its symbolic meaning and artistic characteristics, innovatively introduces paper-cutting art style, and redesigns the shape of the roof ridge decoration by applying the characteristics of traditional paper-cutting patterns to give the roof ridge decoration a richer visual language through the method of interdisciplinary research. At the same time, combined with the typical pattern elements in the architectural system of the Forbidden City and the structural characteristics of the roof ridge ornaments, the architectural imagery is combined with the cultural and creative design to form a visual expression system with an overall cultural lineage. The organic combination of roof ridge decoration modeling art and paper-cutting techniques opens up a new way for the modern dissemination of traditional culture.
