Currently, in the research and innovative design of traditional patterns, there are still multiple challenges, including digital expression, cultural gene extraction, and modern application. This paper, for the first time, constructs an 'embroidery semantic network' for Qing Dynasty embroidered rank badge patterns, achieving structured expression of pattern cultural elements.It also innovatively introduces 'dynamic shape grammar' to achieve precise control over pattern forms. Combined with a three-stage fine-tuning architecture of LoRA-Diffusion-SG, it significantly enhances the realism and cultural alignment of generated patterns. The research integrates multi-source data such as images, atlases, and literature, establishing a comprehensive dataset comprising image, knowledge, and craftsmanship layers. Experiments show that the proposed method performs excellently in terms of cultural compliance (CLIP similarity 0.78–0.82), symbol recognition accuracy (Top-1 82%–85%), and craft feasibility prediction (F1-score 0.87–0.89). his study provides a theoretical basis and technical support for the digital preservation and redesign of embroidery patterns, promoting the deep application of artificial intelligence in cultural heritage inheritance.

cultural genes and historical information within their patterns. Currently, in the research and innovative design of traditional patterns, there are still multiple challenges, including digital expression, cultural gene extraction, and modern application. This paper, for the first time, constructs an 'embroidery semantic network' for Qing Dynasty embroidered rank badge patterns, achieving structured expression of pattern cultural elements.It also innovatively introduces 'dynamic shape grammar' to achieve precise control over pattern forms. Combined with a three-stage fine-tuning architecture of LoRA-Diffusion-SG, it significantly enhances the realism and cultural alignment of generated patterns. The research integrates multi-source data such as images, atlases, and literature, establishing a comprehensive dataset comprising image, knowledge, and craftsmanship layers. Experiments show that the proposed method performs excellently in terms of cultural compliance (CLIP similarity 0.78–0.82), symbol recognition accuracy (Top-1 82%–85%), and craft feasibility prediction (F1-score 0.87–0.89). his study provides a theoretical basis and technical support for the digital preservation and redesign of embroidery patterns, promoting the deep application of artificial intelligence in cultural heritage inheritance.","manuscriptTitle":"Reconstructing the Cultural Genes and Innovative Design of Qing Dynasty Embroidery Patterns: A Case Study of Official Rank Badges","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-10-26 00:21:59","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7522369/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"decision","content":"Revision requested","date":"2025-11-08T21:56:30+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-11-05T04:45:20+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-11-03T03:37:50+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"132446317249608251021665048949445687899","date":"2025-10-16T07:41:40+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"269085920369441830099228056855612649913","date":"2025-10-14T16:10:14+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2025-10-12T15:56:26+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2025-09-18T14:00:37+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2025-09-03T05:18:27+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"npj heritage science","date":"2025-09-03T03:37:28+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"npj-heritage-science","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"hsci","sideBox":"Learn more about [Heritage Science](http://heritagesciencejournal.springeropen.com)","snPcode":"40494","submissionUrl":"https://submission.nature.com/new-submission/40494/3","title":"npj Heritage Science","twitterHandle":"@SpringerOpen","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":true,"editorialSystem":"em","reportingPortfolio":"BMC/SO AJ","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"56ae8ae7-db7a-4e13-8ed1-3a239a343a4f","owner":[],"postedDate":"October 26th, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"published-in-journal","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2025-12-15T16:01:03+00:00","versionOfRecord":{"articleIdentity":"rs-7522369","link":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s40494-025-02217-5","journal":{"identity":"npj-heritage-science","isVorOnly":false,"title":"npj Heritage Science"},"publishedOn":"2025-12-08 15:57:22","publishedOnDateReadable":"December 8th, 2025"},"versionCreatedAt":"2025-10-26 00:21:59","video":"","vorDoi":"10.1038/s40494-025-02217-5","vorDoiUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s40494-025-02217-5","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-7522369","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-7522369","identity":"rs-7522369","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
