Abstract

This research aims to analyze the Dragon and Phoenix motifs in Singkawang Chinese Batik from an ethnomathematics perspective. Ethnomathematics examines the relationship between mathematics and culture, and batik, as a traditional work of art, has many mathematical elements. The Dragon and Phoenix motifs in Singkawang Chinese Batik, which are influenced by Chinese symbolism and mythology, contain mathematical concepts such as symmetry, repeating patterns, and fractals. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach by analyzing the mathematical elements contained in these motifs. The research results show that these two motifs reflect geometric regularity, which is closely related to the concepts of symmetry and fractals, and represent balance and harmony, both aesthetically and philosophically, which reflects Chinese culture. It is hoped that this research can enrich the literature on ethnomathematics and become a reference in developing local culture-based mathematics learning methods.
