China's ancient "traditional patterns" are an important part of China's traditional culture, with unique artistic value and cultural connotation. The following are some common "traditional modes" and their characteristics:

1. Yun Leiwen: Yun Leiwen is a pattern with moire and thunder as the main elements, and it has various expression techniques such as printing, stamping, carving and painting. It usually develops in a four-way continuous or two-way continuous way, which appeared in the late Neolithic period and may have developed from vortex patterns.

2. Xiangyun pattern: Xiangyun pattern is a pattern symbolizing auspicious spirit, which consists of animals and moire patterns. Chu, which first appeared in the middle and late Zhou Dynasty, gradually formed a decorative style based on moire, especially the variant moire combining animals with moire.

3. Blue pattern: Blue pattern is a kind of blue pattern, which is mainly shaped by animals and plants, figures and landscapes, and has a unique charm and style. It is one of the important representatives of ceramic decoration in China and is widely used in ceramics, lacquerware, embroidery and other handicrafts.

4. Tile pattern: commonly known as tile head, tile is the front end of a tile (also called dripping eaves) at the front end of the eaves or the pattern part of its front end. Ceramic tiles in different historical periods have different characteristics. There are many kinds of ceramic tile patterns in Qin dynasty, including animal patterns, insect patterns, bird patterns and plant patterns. There are four gods, wing tigers, birds and animals, insects, plants, moire patterns, characters and words, clouds and animals in the Han Dynasty. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the tile surface was small and the pattern was mainly cirrus clouds. Lotus tile was the most common in the Tang Dynasty, and the word tile almost disappeared. In the Song Dynasty, animal tiles were used. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, tiles with dragon patterns were used.

5. Jade patterns: Ancient jade patterns are diverse, ranging from simple to complex auspicious pictures.
