Wenxi Hua Mo Element Cultural And Creative Product Design Based On Children’s Growth Etiquette

As a traditional northern folk food,the bun is an important ritual symbol in social interaction,such as the wedding and funeral of each family,the growth of children,major festivals and so on,which will make a large number of buns,which contains a rich social human feelings and the most simple wishes of the working people for a better life.As an intangible cultural heritage,the bun is a reflection of the wisdom of generations of people from one side of the mountain.As people’s lives become richer and richer,the symbolic meaning of the bun is much greater than the edible meaning,so this intangible cultural heritage also recedes from people’s lives,only in some more traditional and important occasions,making the inheritance of intangible heritage has a fault.How to bring the Wenxi bun back into the rituals of children’s growth,reshape the original social ties and realise a living heritage is the basis and ultimate demand of this research.In recent years,there have been new changes in people’s life philosophy and lifestyle,and the concept of the people’s food structure has also changed dramatically.On the one hand,the traditional Chinese sentiment of "more is better" is deeply rooted in the mindset of hospitality,resulting in a large amount of wastage of buns during banquets;on the other hand,the arrival of the post-epidemic era has impacted on the traditional Chinese concept of gathering,and the meal sharing system has become the ideal form of dining under the current characteristics of the times.This design seeks to follow the general trend of meal sharing in modern society,and through the study of typical types of Wenxi flower bun in children’s growth rituals,the extraction of elements,the summary of images,the colour analysis and the migration of symbolic meanings,a series of flower bun themed tableware design is carried out to recreate the sense of existence and rituals in the life of local children’s growth folklore,and to alleviate the waste of flower bun food to a certain extent.The design is based on extensive research into the folklore of Shanxi Province,and in-depth research into the regional social culture of Wenxi County,Yuncheng City.By studying the production process,consumption methods and the connotations of each type of bun,we have gained an in-depth understanding of Wenxi’s bun culture.Through the comparison and analysis of various forms of bun,we will summarise the typical artistic images,decorative patterns and overall shape of the bun,and use modern art design techniques to redesign the typical features of the bun and apply them to the design of the product.Through the refinement of the shape,optimisation of the colour and reproduction of the culture of the bun,the bun products will meet the modern requirements of form,beauty and meaning,and at the same time realise the practical exploration of the living heritage of the intangible cultural heritage of the bun.
