  1. Ancient Chinese architecture
    The ancient Chinese architecture

    It in the world building system, ancient Chinese buildings were independent development systems. The system was initially formed until the Yin Shang period more than 3,000 years ago, and its style was elegant and smart. The development of ancient Chinese architecture has roughly gone through the 7 periods of primitive society, Shang and Zhou dynasties, Qin and Han dynasties, the three northern and southern dynasties of the three northern and northern dynasties, the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Song, Liao, Jinyuan, and the Ming and Qing dynasties. Until the 20th century, it always maintained its own unique structure and layout principles, and spread and affected other countries.

    The characteristics

    From the perspective of structure, the characteristics of ancient Chinese architecture can be summarized as 7 items: ① Use wood as the main building material to create a unique wooden structure form, so that This is the skeleton, which not only meets the actual functional requirements, but also creates a beautiful architectural shape and the corresponding architectural style. ② Keep the principle of structure. The columns and vertical horizontal beams are combined into various forms of beam frames, so that the upper part of the building is passed to the basis through the beam frame and columns. The wall only plays the role of encirclement, separation, and is not carried. ③ Create the structure of buckets. The buckets that are stacked by the short wood and horizontal stacked short wood and bucket -shaped square wood are the transition components between columns and beams. The overall structure layer between the frames is a clever form of the ancient Chinese wood structure structure. ④ Standardization of monomer architecture. Ancient Chinese palaces, temples, houses, etc. are often configured by several single buildings. Regardless of the size of the single building, the outline of its appearance consists of three parts: step base, house body, and roof: below is a step base for masonry masonry, supporting the entire house; , The wooden pillar is used as a skeleton, and the doors and windows are installed. The roof caused by the wooden structure roof is on it. The roof is made of soft and elegant curves. It extends out of the house around the house and covered with green gray tiles or glazed tiles. The plane of the single building is usually rectangular. In the absence of special purpose, square, star -shaped, circular, etc. are also adopted; and the buildings used in the garden can be used in a fan, glyphs, and a ring shape. The roof has the top of the palace, the top of the Xianxianshan, the roof of the shed, the top of the hanging mountain, the top of the hard mountain, and the spire. Each form is divided into single eaves and heavy eaves, which can be combined into more forms. ⑤ Pay attention to the layout of the building group group. The principle is introverted, multi -level, and strive to balance symmetry. Except for specific buildings such as urban tower, bell and drum tower, etc., single buildings rarely show all outlines. There are few courtyards in each building group, and there are several or dozens of courtyards. The combinations are diverse and rich in layers, which makes up for the shortcomings of single buildings. The plane layout takes the principles of left and right symmetry. The house is surrounded by the garden. The combination form is developed according to the middle axis. Only the plane layout of the garden adopts the principle of free changes. ⑥ Flexible arrangement of space layout. The indoor interval is used with fans, doors, hoods, screens, and other activities that are easy to install and disassemble. It can be divided arbitrarily and changes at any time. The courtyard is a unified body that is used with the indoor space. It also creates a small natural environment for the building. It can cultivate trees and flowers, which can be stacked with ponds. Transition to increase life interest. ⑦ Use color decoration means. The beams and columns of wooden structures need to be applied to the surface of the wood surface to develop anticorrosive measures such as paint, thereby developing into China's unique architectural oil decoration and color paintings. Commonly used green, green, Zhu and other mineral pigments to paint colorful patterns to increase the beauty of the building. The decoration components composed of wood, plus the color -decorated flat flowers and wooden bars inlaid into various rhombus lattice, which is a masterpiece of practical and decorative decoration. The colorful glazed roofs, archway, and photo walls that appeared after the Northern Wei Dynasty made the building brilliant and brilliant.

    From the perspective of traditional culture, the characteristics of ancient Chinese architecture can be summarized as five aspects: ① Few real architectural theory. The appearance of architecture as a discipline is a modern thing. Guide architecture to develop abstract philosophical theories, agreed moral norms and specific political systems. ② Confucian traditional ritual thoughts are the main ideas of guiding architectural creation, and supplemented by metaphysics and feng shui. ③ The attitude of life is full of realism of Chinese people. The specific manifestation is that the building does not seek for a long time, but the starting point of meeting the functional needs. The standardization and generalization of architectural forms can meet the needs of a variety of functions. ④ Standardized architectural individuals should express individuality through the combination of architectural space. The layout of the architectural group is the essence of traditional architectural art. It reflects the rational thinking method of time and space combination and the affinity between people and nature. ⑤ Express specific themes with symbolism. Express mood in the garden, express the worldview in religious buildings, and express the political system in palace architecture. Some decorative components, sketches, and even single buildings have become a symbol that contains a fixed meaning.

The Great Wall has experienced more than 2,000 years of history, extending thousands of miles, and has become a symbol of the spirit of the Chinese nation. The Anji Bridge (Zhaozhou Bridge), Zhaoxian County, Hebei, was built in the Sui Dynasty in the early 7th century. It was the first open shoulder arch stone bridge in the world. It was about 700 years earlier than the West. All these reflect the outstanding achievements of ancient Chinese architecture.

  2. The ancient Chinese characters span thousands of years and space for thousands of years, and they are still full of vigorous vitality and unique artistic charm. Chinese characters are a block character based on pictographs. Drive specific expressions through six constituent methods such as pictographs and intentions. In addition, the performance characteristics of "graphic" and "symbolization" can be said to be the most original form of the logo. At the same time, the different representations of various books such as Oracle, 隶, Li, and Kai also provide rich visual elements for modern design.
    With the development of the times, standing on a wider information platform for review, never separated from the "image" and "shape" of all things in the world, and the highly simple and generalized Chinese characters are undoubtedly one of them. The design elements with deep vitality and infectious power will be applied to the modern logo design, which will develop a space full of vitality and vitality for modern design. There are no shortage of successful examples around us. For example, the logo of the "Bank of China" is to integrate a "medium" in ancient copper coins, like two doors that are locked, which symbolizes safety and integrity; The tea leaves are placed in the word "king", like a big banner that is rolling in the wind. This clever and perfect combination is both concise and vivid, but also has national characteristics, which makes people forget. In the design of the 2008 Olympic Games, the clever application of Chinese characters once again showed the modern atmosphere of ancient Chinese culture to the world.
    2. Traditional graphics and modern logo design
    The traditional graphic art source in my country has a long history and has developed for thousands of years. As early as the birth of the text, the ancestors began to use graphics to convey the thoughts and communication feelings. It is also the earliest graphic art of human beings. China's graphics art not only originated early, but also continued to develop. Although it is fast and slow, it has never been interrupted, such as the graphics on the bronze wares on the Shang Dynasty; The treasure pattern of the Tang Dynasty and the formal form that appeared later. The traditional Chinese graphic resources are extremely rich. In their own development and evolution, they have both the context and colorful style. With their diverse and uniform style, they show unique, deep, and charming charm. The national tradition and national spirit. These graphics have continuously precipitated, extended, and derived from the development of history and the development of history, thus forming a unique traditional art system in China. This system condenses the wisdom essence of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and also reflects the Huaxia people. The unique artistic spirit.
    "Human Pottery Fish Pot" in Xi'an Banpo in Xi'an to the lifelike portrait stone "Jing Jing Xing Qin King" in the Han Dynasty, from the puppet patterns on the bronze wares to the simple shape of Qin and Hanwa. , Guju and simple. It is the image interpretation of the Chinese nation in various periods of social life, and it also truthfully reflects the aesthetic purpose of people in different periods. Many works that are recognized by the world and have distinctive national characteristics and cultural connotation have been inspired by traditional graphics.
    The combination of traditional graphic art into the design of modern marks, which is the key to designing modern marks with claiming, era and internationality. But such a combination does not refer to pure copying or simply misappropriation of traditional graphics, but to understand and understand traditional graphics. Based on this A new creative point and inspiration point designed, thereby designing the vitality Chinese -type modern logo. Hong Kong Phoenix Satellite TV's Taiwan standard successfully borrowed the traditional Chinese phoenix pattern, and adopted the structural form of "joy meeting" unique to China. High intention, the king of the leading peers expressed vividly. With two flying phoenixes, the image of the two flying phoenixes represents the complementary and blending of two different cultures of China and the United States, reflecting the cultural concept of integrating east to west and gathered north and south. The brand of civilization. rn三、传统文化元素在珠宝设计中的运用rn翻看中华珠宝文化发展史,早在旧石器时代中期我们的祖先就利用兽牙、贝壳、骨管、鸵鸟蛋壳、 During the creation of stone beads and other creation, and by the alternation of the newly -fledged stone in 10,000 years ago, it was further selected to create various decorations such as quartz, jasper, agate, obsidian and other transparent and colored materials. The jewelry category is already very rich. The head jewelry has 笄, comb, and crown; the earrings have ring; neck ornaments have necklaces; hand ornaments have bracelets, 瑗, etc. The body should also be worn on the body, which is composed of 珩, 璜, 琚, etc. Even the materials of jewelry include bamboo, stone, bone, mussels, shells, teeth, jade, gold, etc. Hongshan Culture, Liangzhu Culture, Longshan Culture, and Daxi Culture, whether it is earrings, neck ornaments, arm ornaments, chest ornaments, etc., reflects the strong style and cultural charm of the times. Design is a reflection of consciousness in the material field, objective, and the carrier of history, culture, and art. As a modern jewelry design worker, you must first be based on the fertile soil of Chinese culture. Only jewelry that integrates traditional Chinese and Western cultural elements can be accepted by consumers and markets. The design of modern jewelry reflects a humanistic culture, personalized design, which must attach importance to national characteristics and follow the trend of fashion. In summary, in order to express cultural themes, people can find unique personality from ancient and modern symbols, interpret creation from them, and clearly convey information from ancient times to the present. For example, the dragon symbolizes the right, the phoenix symbolizes the festiveness, the bamboo symbolizes the qi festival, the lotus symbolizes self -love, the pigeons symbolize peace equality, combine these elements of east, west, ancient, and present, use rich imagination, and re -interpret the sensitive era of touch. Creation a new fashion trim. This profound cultural accumulation can reveal personal perceptual memories and cherish values, and convey the eternal significance. If it is only based on the original dragon, phoenix, bamboo, lotus, pigeons, etc., it will lose any meaning of the design.
    The culture of any nation is an inseparable part of world culture, although the geographical environment, climate, cultural tradition, customs and social and economy of each country are different, and the ethnic groups of different countries have appeared. Style, it is precisely because of these differences that the world's big family is a distinguished logo and a profound cultural brand.
