Analyzing the changes of the way of living in ancient China, this thesis discusses the following positional changes of the ceramic decorative patterns of the same period and studies the changes of living style based on the ancient painting literature as the main reference frame. The two explorations mutually verify that the positional changes of ceramic decorative patterns were in the pace with the changes of the way of living, altering from sitting on the ground to sitting down (sitting on seating with lower limbs hanging down). As furniture heights increased gradually, visual Angle was varied, thus making ceramic adornment position move down thereby, and enriching adornment content.
