On The Application Of The Twenty-four Solar Terms In The Pattern Design

Twenty-four solar terms rooted in Chinese agriculture civilization,is an essential part of traditional Chinese culture and the integration of the knowledge on astronomy,geography,folk culture,customs and so forth,which also contains the rich elements of Chinese life.In the context of its official inclusion in the World Intangible Cultural Heritage,the thesis is based on traditional Chinese culture's inheritance and redesign,taking the summer solar term in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas as an example to explore the role of life elements plays in the pattern designs.By means of previous investigation of questionnaire survey,viewing the relevant documents and combing with the examples of ancient and modern pattern designs,the thesis is about to inquiry the residents' understanding of the solar terms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas,to establish the structure of solar terms in life elements,to analyze the life elements applied to the pattern designs' extraction method and manifestation,and to study the way of its concrete application.The thesis is mainly discussing the areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and the timeline in summer to analyze the objects' changes and human beings' activities in different environments of each solar term,hopefully to get the visual,graphic and iconic life elements from it and to explore its application in modern pattern designs.Based on the above theory points and the practice of graduation design,the thesis aims to further demonstrates the application of the twenty-four solar terms in the pattern designs,to explore the concrete form of the application of the summer solar term in the pattern designs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas and the way of solar terms applied to the cultural derivatives and products,as a result,to provide more possibilities for the development and promotion of the twenty-four solar terms related products,in a way to supplement and enrich the design materials and methods of pattern design in traditional Chinese culture.
