Abstract

The crisis in the preservation of their skills demonstrates the extent to which the architectural cultural heritage of the ethnic minorities is being protected. The decorative art of Slab Shelf Dwellings is a tangible representation of the cultural system built by the southwest mountainous peoples. Through field mapping, craftsmen's interviews, and pattern genealogy, this study systematically dissects the various themes, modeling logics, and spatial compositional features of the decorative art in Siji Ji Village in Meigu County, the core inheritance area of the intangible cultural heritage "Liangshan Yi Folk Dwelling Skills." In the semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral livelihood, it is discovered that: (1) The ternary combination of animal and plant motifs, natural abstract motifs, and production tool motifs maps out the synergistic relationship of "Nature-Human-Technology"; (2) The decorative motifs realize the spatial translation of the primitive religious cosmogony and the pragmatic construction logic through the compositional technique of continuous motifs; and (3) Liangshan Ji Village, influenced by the Han architectural culture, has become the most significant locati0n in the history of the Chinese people worldwide. (3) Liangshan residences, which are affected by Han architectural culture, exhibit multicultural traits, and Yi culture maintains its individuality while assimilating Han culture, further illustrating the cultural importance of the unity of diversity. This study establishes for the first time an interpretative framework for the decorative art and culture of the product rack houses, which provides a value cognitive foundation for the living inheritance of ethnic minority architectural cultural heritage in the Southwest region.
