Research on the Architectural Color Artistic Features of Da Zhao Temple in Hohhot

Abstract

This study examines the intricate color palette and artistic characteristics of the Da Zhao Temple, a prominent  architectural  landmark  in  Inner  Mongolia.  Through  a  detailed  analysis  of  its  exterior  walls, decorative elements, and rooftop features, the study elucidates the  nuanced interplay of colors influenced by Tibetan Buddhism and local ethnic traditions. Each element reflects a fusion of Han, Mongolian, and Tibetan cultural influences, from the vibrant hues adorning the temple's exterior to the elaborate rooftop decorations. Furthermore, the research delves into the artistry of the temple's exterior eaves paintings, showcasing a blend of  Tibetan  Buddhist  motifs,  Qing  Dynasty-style  paintings,  and  indigenous  Mongolian  art.  Additionally,  the study  assesses  the  current  state  of  the  temple's  surroundings,  highlighting  the  need  for  improved  color management  and  preservation  efforts  to  maintain  the  historical  and  cultural  integrity  of  the  site.  The  study proposes  strategies  to  integrate  the  temple's  rich  color  palette  into the  broader  urban  landscape  through comprehensive  color  planning  and  community  engagement  initiatives  while  preserving  its  distinct  cultural identity.  This  study  examines  the  intricate  color  palette  and  artistic  characteristics  of  the  Da  Zhao  Temple,  a prominent  architectural  landmark  in  Inner  Mongolia.  Through  a  detailed  analysis  of  its  exterior  walls, decorative elements, and rooftop features, the study elucidates the  nuanced interplay of colors influenced by Tibetan Buddhism and local ethnic traditions.
