OVERVIEW / A WAY IN

Pattern picked into cloth while weaving.

Loom tiaohua is read as a making principle and a living naming practice. Small motifs may be created by individual weavers, repeated locally and named later by users, collectors or researchers.

How do small woven forms become named folk patterns?

FIELD NOTE

How folk pattern names emerge

花名如何形成

A repeated form can acquire a name through visual resemblance and later community or research classification; not every name is a maker-authored label.

Little Plum Blossom and the long picked-dot grid remain related studies without being forced into one universal tiaohua mechanism.

TA-NT-0014 keeps its current object title, but “Four Seasons” is treated as an Atlas-curatorial name rather than a historical pattern name.

READ WITH CONTEXT

A name is a layer of evidence.

Visual resemblance, local usage, published terminology and an Atlas working name are not interchangeable.

Field notes & catalogue basis

How do small woven forms become named folk patterns?

Loom tiaohua is read as a making principle and a living naming practice. Small motifs may be created by individual weavers, repeated locally and named later by users, collectors or researchers.

The current Atlas object anchor is 荠菜花. Published-source names may also enter the research lexicon before a current object is confidently matched.

This v3 book is an editorial research route. Object-level technique, dating and provenance remain on each textile record; pattern-name provenance is stored separately in the Pattern Catalog.
