Designers usually apply patterns to diverse practical fields. With world globalization and the rapid growth of the Chinese economy, China is an emerging market of various industries and products. Yet, creating a Chinese style should not solely depend on utensils. Designers should also take furniture and spatial atmosphere into account. This study focuses on the following questions: 1. What are the frequent patterns used in enamels (representing utensils), furniture, and architecture during the Ming and Qing Dynasties? 2. What similarities and differences do these patterns show? 3. Do these patterns have an interconnecting relationship between them? This study investigates the enamel patterns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties of the National Palace Museum (NPM) as well as furniture, and architecture patterns in the same periods. After systematic analyses and discussions, the main results are as follows: 1. Enamels, furniture, and architecture share the cloud-, gue-dragon-, scroll (卷草)-, 回-shape, 獸面-shape, and 卍-shape patterns; 2. The above mentioned patterns share similarities and differences; 3. Patterns used in enamels, furniture, and architecture have an interconnecting relationship. The remaining results are woven into this paper.
