In the traditional decorative arts from life, different ethnic groups due to different geographical location, climatic conditions, human history and other reasons. Formed a different regional culture, with a strong humanity and nationality.
In the long river of history and culture of five thousand years, a variety of decorative arts flourishing, from prehistoric pottery color, Shang and Zhou bronzes, lacquer Warring States and Qin Han, the Han Dynasty brick portrait, Sui and Tang Wei Jin caves, Tang and Song ceramics, In the Yuan dynasty, temples, Ming dynasty furniture, printmaking, New Year paintings and so on, to the folk culture and crafts, unique skills, song and dance, instrumental music, lacquer painting, clay sculpture, batik, shadow, painting, paper cutting, wood carving, etc., have become an important Chinese culture Components, and formed a distinctive artistic features, oriental aesthetics and a strong national identity and quality. Reflect the different elements of each era personality, and with changes in history and change.
By the way, decorate the environment, beautify the living space, which is the main concept of Chinese decorative arts tradition lies.
In the traditional decoration techniques, the characteristics of the Chinese nation are reflected everywhere. Most of the grille uses the primary colors of building materials, wood is generally painted and painted with dandelion to decorate. Beam column with the most part of the turquoise hue, the lower part of the main red. The auspicious images on the ancient framed stands are mostly collected from Chinese myths and historical stories. The motifs are animals and plants, nature, characters, figures, and objects, and convey the full auspicious meaning. Seeking the beauty of order in nature, getting liberalization from the rules, exploring many methods of space decoration through practice, transforming the form of decorative art from the two-dimensional limitation into the three-dimensional space, making full use of each favorable condition of the environment itself, Appropriate intervention "between" and "separated" and other human factors, the natural space to adjust to strengthen the overall decoration system. "Winding path" has become a design principle of gardens: to change more perspectives, and slowly appreciate the enjoyment in the garden. If the time change factor is also taken into account, then these "inter" and "interval" changes make decorative art to space, three-dimensional, mobile, people produce aesthetic association. Suzhou Gardens is a good example.
Decorative arts tradition in the shape of great importance to the "sense of form" process, also note the relationship between process focus, line, and various forms of surface elements, arranged in the shape exquisite sense of order, such as stone second party continuous pattern of the Northern Wei Dynasty, map Respectively in the form of dragon and phoenix images, a regular rhythm of the formation of repeated, the formation of an orderly beauty. Ming furniture is a lot of special stretchers pin head out using tongue, both to increase the degree of solid construction, also the structure itself of decoration; decorative tough straight line angle, in a round square Yu, workmanship, the essence itself sandalwood Texture and luster cleverly combined; the entire furniture outside the wood in the virtual space outside the proper proportion, density and induced, at all angles to achieve visual balance. Efforts to extradite to extravagance, painting after the element refers to the removal of too complicated decoration, which is the view of Confucius, an ancient sage, is his view of the United States.
In terms of performance, art of decoration generally expresses a certain kind of concept and meaning through the lyrical of borrowing things, which is symbolic and moral. New Year paintings, such as "Naphthes Yingxiang", "Looking forward to the Gospel," "Concentric knot", "even branches", "Titian", "peach Xianshou", "Songhe Yannian" Dragon "" Phoenix "and other images of the application, the sustenance of the author of the beautiful longing for life. Traditional decorative themes tend to be a kind of plant quality symbol of personality ideal, such as "Merlin Chrysanthemum", "Ben Shirong Rong," "winter cold and three friends" and so on, with the gracefulness of the pine and cypress, bamboo, lush, Out of the mud without staining, Merlin's arrogance and high moral meaning and so on, the moral in the material, from the real into the virtual, to create the moral pursuit of the beauty of the mood. Reflects a kind of "beautiful, elephant invisible" Chinese literati cultural pursuit. The use of color also implies a symbolic and moral, it has gone from complex to simple, from gorgeous to elegant development process. With the "Red Table Loyalty", "black table rough straight" and the like of the deep ideological echoes.
Exaggerated shape deformation, the choice of decorative colors with a very contradictory conflict dramatic. The main purpose is not only to decorate the space, heighten the atmosphere, to spectacular, so that the audience feast for the eyes. From a macroscopic point of view, the traditional Chinese decorative arts are composed of various elements and harmonious impetus to each other. Its charm lies in the gentle, honest and harmonious integrity. It organically constitutes various elements of decorative art, such as subjectivity and objectivity, reality and ideal, filling and emptiness, emotion and reason, content and form, contraction and expansion, time and space and other systems and as a harmonious whole. The traditional Chinese decorative arts are rich, unique and distinct. They are the result of 5,000 years of Chinese history. They combine the wisdom and perspiration of ancient working people.
However, since the 20th century, human beings have made new development and understanding of the concept of space. The development of industrialization has caused a series of environmental problems. As a result, the awareness of environmental protection has also been strengthened. The concept of environmental art design has gradually taken shape. By the 1980s, the concept of environmental art design was widely accepted by people. It changed and reconstructed human activities and modes of thought. It is generally understood that the ring design is the design of human living space. Its design needs to meet people's physiological space, psychological space and other requirements, the need to comprehensively deal with a number of man and the environment, people and many other relationships, the need to serve the premise of a comprehensive solution to the use of functional, economic, comfortable and beautiful environment Atmosphere and other requirements. Design and implementation of the process will also involve materials, equipment, culture, quotas and regulations and construction management and coordination and many other issues. Pay special attention to the research of ergonomics, environmental psychology, aesthetic psychology and other disciplines, and scientifically and comprehensively understand the characteristics of human physiology, behavioral psychology and visual perception, and so on, in view of the different geographical environment, humanistic environment, Climate and environment, history and culture and other aspects of the characteristics, corresponding to make appropriate design choices.
Viewed from a long history, spatial design and national traditional culture are not isolated and antagonistic. Rather, they are a process of continuous development and interaction. In the fields of art and design, due to the influx and infiltration of various new ideas in foreign countries, our inherent &#118alues ​​and aesthetics are shaken. Space design has always pursued and imitated a modern and fashionable style, which is simple and concise but indifferent and lost Individuality, but also lost the meaning of national culture. How to understand the relationship between the traditional decoration art and the modern ring art design so that the traditional culture can be better inherited and developed in the modern ring art design is our common challenge. In recent years, various fields have advocated the pursuit of individuality, paid attention to the return of the &#118alues ​​of ethnic traditional culture, and preached that the nation is also the world. Make its humane philosophy, aesthetic orientation, aesthetic psychology and so on have unique nationality. Chinese traditional decorative arts will be integrated into the modern design, much favored by designers.
In the environmental design art, Chinese style has become the goal pursued by everyone. However, the design of the modern Chinese style is not the traditional components as a symbol, intact into practice. In different times, people have different requirements on space, great changes have taken place in their functions, aesthetics and &#118alues. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a feasibility analysis of the spatial environment model in which the traditional and the modern coexist, and the old and the new are uniformed together. The meeting point between tradition and modernity, discussing how the various factors in the modern space design combine with the traditional cultural connotation and spirit to form a cultural tacit understanding. Continuation of the traditional Chinese art of the fundamental way to take from the traditional architectural style, decorative elements of the symbol to take a new cut, trying to reflect the traditional charm.
The modern space emphasizes the connection between interior and exterior space, which coincides with the traditional idea of ​​"harmony between man and nature" and "one scene". In the space of the shape of attention to the combination of the actual situation, such as between the two functional areas, the use of Chinese-style screens or windows to separate the line of sight, to create a sense of depth in space, not only to show the space to show the beauty of Chinese-style hierarchy , And this open way with virtual partition of modern space performance practices, so bright and spacious interior, giving modern Chinese space a broad sense of fashion. Especially in the modern structure of the house, often can achieve the decorative effect of the step by step change of scenery. Attention to details of the treatment, combined with the modern sense of creating a new decorative style: the traditional Chinese lantern style lamp and bamboo curtain to give the space of traditional culture, the ancient elements can help people get meditation now; carved windowsill bring thick China The mood, through the mottled shadow formed by the pattern of the flower windows, makes the Chinese traditional natural spirit reach the extreme. The shiny brocade bedspreads have the aristocratic luxurious atmosphere in simplicity. The indoor lighting also keeps a kind of candlelight-like Pastel shades. Let's take a look at the Bank of China Tower, designed by IM Pei, applying the theories, methods and materials of modern space design. However, it is full of the connotation of the traditional Chinese decorative arts: the overall appearance of the exterior is divided into several geometric structures The space is in the shape of a ladder-like rise, with the implication of "blossom and blossom of sesame"; the external environment has designed a small landscape with mountains and water. The use of ancient Chinese ancient people in the choice of dwelling in nature when there is "the relatives of yin and yang, the concept of the flow of the spring," that is, folk Feng Shui's "gathering of mountains and rivers, wind and water," that "water" is "money" "Fat water does not flow outsider field" customs, take "surrounded by wealth flows into the" meaning. Express a good wish. Seemingly simple, but with the power of science and technology and the modern perfect combination of the traditional, but also to make this building in the specific context of Hong Kong has a symbolic significance. The re-use of traditional decorative symbols, the continuation and variation of colors and scales, the application of new materials and the creation of traditional space conceptions are the extension and development of the modern consciousness to the reasonable part of traditional culture. They are based on the concept of traditional Chinese decoration Inheritance of artistic heritage to the design of modern environmental art, full of cultural flavor without losing the sense of fashion.
Finally, we should follow the three major principles of harmony between man and nature, harmony between man and society, harmony between man and self, and form a theme of "returning to nature," a direction for all mankind.
