Utilization of Song Dynasty Ceramic Elements within Contemporary Packaging Design

Juncheng Yang — 2024-12-31

This investigation posits Song Dynasty ceramics as the central theme through which to scrutinize the methodologies for the preservation of Song rhyme culture within the realm of modern packaging design. Song ceramics, emblematic of Song rhyme culture, manifest the aesthetic philosophy of the era, which valorized the primitive and unadorned. An in-depth analysis of the artistic attributes of Song ceramics, encompassing their morphology, glaze, and decorative motifs, underpins this study's formulation of four fundamental design principles for the integration of Song ceramics in packaging design: practicality, aesthetic appeal, cultural significance, and ecological sustainability. Specific design strategies are outlined, including abstract representation, symbolic transformation, syncretism of elements, and simplification of decorative patterns (Wang, 2023). Through the critical examination of packaging case studies imbued with Song rhyme motifs, this research substantiates the efficacy of Song ceramic-inspired packaging in the transmission of Song rhyme culture, thereby offering novel pathways for innovative design tailored to the exigencies of the new era. Such approaches are instrumental in the perpetuation and creative adaptation of Song rhyme culture within the milieu of contemporary design.

Research on the Emotionalized Installation Design of Urban Commercial Spaces

Chen Chen — 2024-12-31

With the sustained progress of society and the economy, installation design has gradually evolved into a pivotal artistic expression in urban commercial spaces, embodying the essential characteristics of contemporary public art. These characteristics encompass the ability to meet both the aesthetic and emotional needs of audiences. This study explores four primary dimensions: (1) the conceptual definitions of emotional design, installation design, and urban commercial spaces; (2) the investigation of emotional design within installation design; (3) the current state of research; and (4) the future trajectory of development. Emphasis is placed on the critical role of emotional design in installation design. By analyzing exemplary cases of emotional installation design and distilling their design essence, this research employs the concept of "emotional output" as a source of inspiration to craft emotional experiences in commercial spaces. Through comprehensive discussion and in-depth analysis, it seeks to provide innovative theoretical guidance and practical design references for the integration of emotional installation design within urban commercial spaces.

Research on Packaging Design Strategies for Chinese Lankao Tourist Souvenirs Based on Regional Culture

Jianlu Cao — 2024-12-31

The cultural heritage of Lankao in China is profoundly rich and characterized by its unique regional culture, serving as a driving force for the development of the tourism industry. However, limitations arising from the lack of focused thematic strategies and regional distinctiveness in packaging design have rendered it incapable of meeting market demands and consumer expectations. This challenge has emerged as a significant factor impeding the development of Lankao souvenirs. Addressing these issues, and building upon prior research findings, this study adopts regional culture as a focal point to investigate and explore Lankao’s cultural attributes. Representative elements were identified and, based on relevant data, fundamental principles for souvenir packaging design were established. Furthermore, festival-themed strategies were introduced alongside innovative packaging and display approaches to transcend traditional mindsets, thereby exploring novel presentation methods. These endeavors aim to highlight Lankao's style and cultural appeal while promoting and disseminating its outstanding cultural heritage, ultimately fostering economic development in the region.

Reflections on the Utilization of Flat Style Illustration in Landscape Design

Heng Luo — 2024-12-31

In creative practice, the articulation of landscape effects holds paramount importance, necessitating designers to master a variety of representational forms, such as plan drawings, perspective views, 3D animations, and physical models. This demands designers to possess a solid artistic foundation, a cultivated sense of appreciation, and an innovative spirit. This paper aims to explore flat-style illustration as an emerging paradigm for landscape effect representation, analyzing its applications and advantages in design practice. By briefly elucidating the fundamental concepts and application scope of flat-style illustration, the study conducts an in-depth analysis through relevant case studies. Research indicates that flat-style illustration exhibits distinctive advantages in landscape effect representation, including visual simplicity and efficiency in information transmission, which effectively enhances the expressive power of design. These findings provide theoretical support for designers in applying flat-style illustration in landscape effect creation, thus advancing the development of this emerging representational paradigm.

A Study on The Relationship between Vocabulary and HSK Levels in Thai Elementary Chinese Textbooks ——Take Ren Jingwen's “Elementary Chinese (I)” as An Example

hui Hou — 2024-12-31

This study adopts the method of vocabulary measurement research. First, it analyzes the matching degree between the vocabulary of the Thai local Chinese textbook“Elementary Chinese (I)”and the HSK test vocabulary. Second, it objectively describes the problems in the vocabulary arrangement and exercise arrangement of the Thai local Chinese textbook “Elementary Chinese (I)”. Combining the two aspects of research, it puts forward writing suggestions to improve the efficiency of the use of the textbook and provide a reference for the compilation of international Chinese textbooks. First, this paper adopts the statistical method of classification by part of speech, and counts that the textbook contains 13 parts of speech and 471 vocabulary items. Secondly, the recurrence rate of textbook vocabulary and HSK test vocabulary is counted. Statistics show that the recurrence rate of textbook vocabulary in HSK Level 1 is 80%, and the recurrence rate of HSK Level 2 is 61%. The recurrence rate of Level 1 vocabulary is high, but the recurrence rate of Level 2 vocabulary is not optimistic. Overall, the matching degree between the vocabulary of “Elementary Chinese (I) )”and the HSK Level 2 vocabulary is not optimistic. Finally, the types of exercises are counted, and relevant suggestions are put forward for the problems of exercises arranged in the textbook.
