The romantic color of Han art has been well reflected and integrated in the modeling of tiles. With large-scale movements and highly exaggerated body posture, he created a flying, simple and lovely artistic image with wild dynamics. For example, the four-winged tiger, toad and jade rabbit are all bold and rough sketches, without any direct details. The length is disproportionate, the straight lines, corners and squares are so prominent, lacking femininity, looking so clumsy, stuffy and unnatural. However, all this has increased their strength and beauty of momentum, and formed the simple style of Han art, which is simple but not vulgar, boastful but not decorative, decorative but not fake. That kind of vigorous life, that kind of naive and wild momentum, that kind of self-confident power to conquer the world, rather, shows the spirit of integrity of the Chinese nation. Ceramic tile is a practical decorative building accessory. This determines that ceramic tiles must be decorated in the most eye-catching and prominent composition form in a limited area, under the heavy restrictions of looking up and farsightedness, on the roof and eaves with considerable height. Whether it is a symmetrical structure of the central axis, a radiating circular structure or an arbitrary flexible structure, the decoration of ancient tiles tries to achieve outstanding theme, balanced structure and give full play to the decorative effect, which is both costly and ingenious.
Symmetrical structure of central axis: most tile-shaped ornamentation is symmetrical. This symmetrical structure is the traditional feature of China's classical art.
Radial circular structure: this structure is mainly used for decorative tiles, which extend radiation lines in all directions with the center of the circle as the center, such as sun pattern.
Arbitrary structure: animal image decoration is mainly this arbitrary structure, and the picture is free and eclectic. There is a main decoration full of pictures. Tile characters are mostly seal script, and rarely official script. Within the specific scope of the circle, the circle is used to promote long and short lines. Do what you want for each other, don't be square. Give full play to the decorative art effect of seal script. According to statistics, there are as many as 120 kinds of changes in the seal script of Wadang, which can be described as spectacular. The beauty of seal script is based on the line composition and physical structure evolved from hieroglyphics, that is, straight and appropriate, freely vertical and horizontal, freely connected and perfectly laid out. It is by using the limited space that Wa Dang's calligraphy vividly embodies this beauty and achieves the same artistic effect as seal cutting.
In addition, there are a small number of artistic variants such as bird and insect seal, such as the tile-shaped word "forever receiving wealth", which is beautiful and vigorous, especially strange.
