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.
