Wenyang — Support

A reference library of Chinese historical ornament, built around where each pattern comes from.
Questions, bug reports, a pattern you think is wrong, or a source you think we should read: support@sakulla.com. We read every message. If you are reporting a pattern that looks wrong, tell us its name — we will put our drawing next to the plate and answer you with both.

Common questions

I bought the unlock but exporting is still locked

Open any pattern → Export → tap a locked item → Restore purchase. Make sure you are signed in with the same Apple Account that made the purchase. The unlock is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and it never expires.

Does it work offline?

Entirely. The patterns are drawn by the app itself, not downloaded. The only time it talks to the network is when you buy or restore, and that is Apple's App Store, not us.

What exactly do I get when I export?

Can I use the patterns commercially?

Yes. The ornament is generated by the app from rules recorded in historical treatises that are in the public domain; the drawings are not copies of anyone's artwork. You do not owe us a credit, though the citation list exists precisely because naming your source is often what a client asks for.

Where do the patterns come from?

Each entry names its source in the app — most of them are plates in Yingzao Fashi (1103) and Yuanye (1631), read from public-domain scans, plus museum objects published under CC0. Entries whose shape we could not establish from a plate are marked as drafts and can be filtered out. Nothing here is scanned from a modern pattern book, and nothing is AI-generated.

A pattern looks different from the plate I know

Tell us. Some entries take a plate's lattice but not its fine detail, and the entry says so in its notes. But we have also simply been wrong before and corrected it. A specific report with the pattern's name is the most useful thing you can send.


纹样 · 使用支持

以「出处」为主张的中国古代纹样参考库。
疑问、报错、觉得某条纹样画得不对、或想推荐一部该读的书: support@sakulla.com。每封都会看。 若是报某条画错了,请写上它的名字 —— 我们会把本库的图与原图版并排放,一起回给你。

常见问题

买了解锁,导出还是锁着

打开任一纹样 →「导出」→ 点一条上锁的 →「恢复购买」。请确认登录的是当初购买的那个 Apple 账户。 解锁是一次性买断,不是订阅,不会过期。

能离线用吗

完全可以。纹样是应用自己画出来的,不是下载的。唯一会联网的时刻是购买或恢复购买,那是 Apple 的 App Store,不是我们。

导出到底给什么

可以商用吗

可以。纹样由应用按已进入公有领域的典籍所记画法生成,不是对任何人作品的翻拍。 你不欠我们署名;引用清单存在的理由,恰恰是甲方常常要你说清出处。

纹样从哪来

每条在应用内都写明出处 —— 多数出自《营造法式》(1103)与《园冶》(1631)的图版, 读的是公有领域扫描本,另有以 CC0 发布的馆藏文物。图形依据尚未落实的条目标为草稿,可以筛掉。 不使用任何现代纹样图册的图像,也不用 AI 生成纹样。

某条与我知道的图版不一样

请告诉我们。有些条目取图版的骨架而不取细部,条目说明里会写清楚; 但我们也确实错过并改过。写上纹样名字的具体反馈,是最有用的。
