Can Chinese traditional patterns be freely combined?

China culture has a long history, starting from the early ancient civilization and continuing to the present. Whether it is jade, lacquerware, clothing or decorations, the beauty of traditional patterns is engraved. There are eighteen kinds of traditional patterns: Yun Leiwen, Xiangyun, Huanban, Honeysuckle Pattern, Feng Niaowen, Ruyi, Gluttony, Fang Shengwen, Tangcao, Qushui, Guascales, Wan Ziwen, Twisted Branches, Yuntou, Babao and Shou Ziwen.

Most of these patterns are used on bronzes, representing whether a nation's culture is prosperous or not. At first, it was said that these patterns were a way to convey people's interaction. Later, it was slowly transplanted to various objects, and after several generations of aesthetics and modification, these patterns that we see now came into being.

Some are on rubbings, and such patterns are generally used in ancient buildings. It is said that only the rich can afford it. Therefore, in ancient times, to see whether a family was prosperous or not, we could look at it through architectural decoration.
