This study explores the cultural significance, aesthetic principles, and symbolic meanings of woodcarving window motifs in traditional Huizhou architecture, a distinctive architectural style prominent during the Ming and Qing dynasties in China. Through an interdisciplinary approach integrating cultural heritage theory, visual culture studies, semiotics, and material culture analysis, this research examines how these motifs function as carriers of cultural identity and social values within the Huizhou region. The study employs a rigorous visual analysis methodology to document and interpret the formal characteristics, iconographic elements, and contextual significance of these motifs, situating them within the broader historical and social context of Huizhou society. The findings reveal that these woodcarving motifs are not merely decorative, but are deeply embedded with layers of symbolic meaning that reflect the cultural, philosophical, and social ideals of the time. The study also highlights the role of these motifs in reinforcing social hierarchies and cultural narratives, as well as their contribution to the aesthetic and functional coherence of Huizhou architecture. By providing a comprehensive analysis of these motifs, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of Huizhou’s architectural heritage and underscores the importance of preserving these cultural artifacts as part of China’s intangible cultural heritage.
