The innovative patterns of Liangshan Yi are applied to modern furniture to continue the Liangshan Yi culture.. Based on the patterns collected from the Liangshan Yi area, this paper summarizes and analyzes through statistical methods, and explores the application methods of innovative patterns in modern furniture. Combined with the quantitative analysis of the existing pattern data, the common decorative parts and composition methods of different types of patterns are summarized, and then the common matching patterns of typical Liangshan Yi patterns are summarize. Through the study of the maximization of cultural continuity, it is proposed that the Liangshan Yi patterns should be innovated with pattern combination as a unit, and the three innovative principles of cultural continuity, function continuity and suitability for industrial production are obtained. Through studying the cultural connotation, proportional dimensions and composition of patterns, taking modern design concepts as a reference, and the optimal innovative methods applicable to various patterns are produced. Combined with the common decorative parts and proportional dimensions of modern furniture, the application methods of various innovative patterns in modern furniture are proposed, so that the innovative patterns of the Yi nationality exist in modern life in diversified forms and are passed down from generation to generation, thereby continuing the Liangshan Yi culture.
