An Appreciation of the“Butterfly”Motif in　Lijiang Lock Engravings

近現代時期，麗江納西族銅匠製作的鎖具是雲南知名特產，被稱為麗江鎖。留存至今的麗江鎖上，大都鐫刻著各式各樣寓意吉祥的紋樣，這些紋樣不僅是裝飾，更是獨特的文化載體。在眾多紋樣中，蝴蝶紋極具代表性，蘊藏著豐富的題材表現形式和文化內涵。不同匠作在不同時期創作的蝴蝶紋有較大差異，值得聚類分析。

During the modern and contemporary periods, the padlocks crafted by Naxi coppersmiths in Lijiang became a well-known specialty of Yunnan, commonly referred to as“Lijiang Locks.”The surviving Lijiang Locks are often engraved with various auspicious motifs that serve not only as decorative elements but also as unique cultural carriers. Among these motifs, the butterfly pattern is particularly representative, embodying a rich variety of artistic expressions and cultural connotations. Notably, butterfly motifs created by different artisans across different periods exhibit significant variations, making them worthy of a clustering analysis.
