Research on the Decorative Patterns of the Bronze Drums (DPBD) in China: A Systematic Literature Review
Abstract
This study focuses on a systematic review of the research on the intangible cultural heritage of the decorative patterns of the bronze drums (DPBD) in China. The article attempts to answer two questions: first, the current status, trends, and unresolved issues of the research on the DPBD. Second, the current situation, trends and research gaps in the inheritance and development of the DPBD. It aims to identify and analyze the gaps to aid the inheritance and development of the DPBD culture in China and Southeast Asian countries. According to the PRISMA statement, forty-one articles were selected from six databases, including Web of Science (WOS), IEEExplore, Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and CNKI for exploration. According to the research results, the decoration relationship with the socio-culture of the people of ancient China is the main content of many scholars’ research, and some of the content is controversial. The classification methods of the DPBD tended to be consistent, and the research results on the variations of different types of the DPBD are relatively few. It has a significant gap. The categories of motifs represented on the DPBD need further empirical research. The study on the conservation and inheritance of Chinese DPBD proposes research on application methods and development strategies based on theoretical research on the DPBD. Most scholars believe that digital and new media fields positively affect the inheritance, dissemination, and development of the DPBD culture. Still there is a considerable gap in empirical research on the effectiveness of digital and new media.
