The Use of Books for Buddhist Embroideries in Seventeenth-Century China: The Cases of Avalokiteśvara and Bodhidharma Designs
Buddhist women in traditional China used embroidery—considered the most feminine art form—to produce images of deities, allowing them to visualize their religious aspirations while adhering to the decorum expected in Confucian society. This paper examines three Buddhist embroidery designs: one visualized in Avalokiteśvara (1619) and two from a catalog of embroidery designs titled A Collection of Scattered Red Clouds (mid-seventeenth century). By analyzing their similarity to the images found in popular illustrated publications of the seventeenth century, this study explores how Buddhist iconography circulated across different media. Through a comparative analysis of the embroidered works and woodblock prints featuring Buddhist deities such as Avalokitesvara and Bodhidharma, I demonstrate that seventeenth-century Chinese women embroiderers often utilized contemporary woodblock prints as models for their devotional embroidered works. The publications that supplied the models for the embroiderers vary from one for a pronounced ritual value—Dharani Sutra of White-robed One—to one that is fundamentally non-religious and educational—a painting manual titled Canon of Painting. This variety highlights the breadth of reading materials that reached the inner chambers of Chinese women, enabling them to engage with religious visual culture beyond their domestic confines and express their spiritual devotion through artistic means.

The Innovative Design System of Traditional Embroidery Patterns Based on Computer Linear Classifier Intelligent Algorithm Model
This research introduces an innovative system for designing traditional embroidery patterns utilizing a computer-based linear classifier intelligent algorithm. The system achieves efficient classification and recognition of embroidery pattern features by employing the Fisher linear discriminant analysis technique, thus enabling the intelligent and innovative creation of designs. Additionally, the system encompasses the design of classification algorithms for embroidery patterns and incorporates interactive tools along with embroidery systems, offering designers a user-friendly platform for pattern creation. In the system design, Fisher linear discriminant analysis algorithm is used to classify the feature vectors of embroidery patterns to ensure that the features of each type of pattern are accurately extracted and identified. The model simulation verifies the algorithm's effectiveness through multiple iterations, and the results show that the system has significantly improved the classification accuracy of embroidery patterns and the efficiency of innovative design. Accurate data analysis shows that the classification accuracy of the system in different types of embroidery patterns reaches more than 95%, and user satisfaction is improved by 20%.
