What is the meaning and symbol of honeysuckle pattern?

The moral of honeysuckle pattern is: cold resistance, heat resistance and perseverance. It symbolizes the immortality of the soul and eternal life.

Honeysuckle pattern is also an important traditional decorative pattern. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was mostly thin, usually in the form of two continuous sides, with three leaves or one leaf arranged opposite each other. In the Tang dynasty, it became a complicated scroll pattern, which was later called vanilla.

Grass scroll pattern is a continuous decorative strip of grass leaves composed of soft wavy lines, which is popular in Tang Dynasty. Whether it is rolled grass, branches or leaves, its stems are moderate in length, round and powerful, and are widely used in Song Jizhou Kiln, Yaozhou Kiln, Cizhou Kiln, Yaoxian Kiln and Bacun Kiln, which are very popular in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The branching mode is based on vines or branches of plants, extending up and down, left and right, forming a wavy two-way continuous or four-way continuous.

The pattern decoration of honeysuckle in Dunhuang art;

The pattern of honeysuckle in Dunhuang is not only different from the gorgeous ornament of honeysuckle in Yungang Grottoes in Datong, but also different from the complicated pattern of honeysuckle in Xinjiang Grottoes, which emphasizes concave-convex changes and does not reveal open space. However, it takes the single leaf honeysuckle pattern as the basic unit, whether it is composed of single leaf waves, double leaf vines or four leaf locks, and its side leaf image and structural context are always clear and complete. Against the red background of the earth, it gives viewers a simple and simple aesthetic feeling.
