How to Extract Design Elements from Traditional Culture

In the traditional culture of China, there are many patterns symbolizing the national characteristics of China, such as dragon and phoenix patterns, Chinese knots, window grilles, paper-cuts, Chinese zodiac, auspicious clouds, the sun, the moon, mountains, fire, clouds, water, Tai Chi and the sun. Applying these traditional patterns to landscape design not only has far-reaching implications, but also embodies the unique traditional cultural connotation of China, enabling the local culture to continue itself. For example, in roads, railings, walls and other places, using stone carvings or hand-painted patterns of dragons, phoenixes and auspicious clouds can express people's blessings and wishes for life, or using plants to spell out the patterns of the 12 zodiac animals, which makes people fondle them and imprint them with profound culture, which can well follow our traditional culture.

The color of landscape is the primary element of landscape expression and positioning, and the colors that best represent Chinese civilization are: China Red, Glass Yellow, Great Wall Grey, Jade Fat White, and Chinese Sophora Green. Applying traditional colors to landscape design can effectively create landscape expression. China red and glazed yellow can highlight the lofty, festive and peaceful atmosphere. For example, the use of red lanterns in street lamp design can highlight the glory of the Chinese nation in a festive atmosphere. Great Wall Ash can be used in landscape architecture, chairs and so on, which can highlight the elegant atmosphere of the landscape. All kinds of sculptures can be made of jade and white to create a pure and auspicious landscape atmosphere.

3, the use of traditional artistic conception

China's traditional culture advocates the harmonious thought of harmony between man and nature, and the concept of "law without me". In landscape design, we can use artistic techniques such as landscape opening and closing, space comparison, guidance and suggestion, hidden display, infiltration and layering, and overlapping stones to view the water to create a landscape space with one scene and one emotion. You can also follow the traditional concept of "neutralization", get inspiration from landscape poems, landscape paintings and their theories, integrate them into landscape design, and skillfully combine space creation with the relationship between man and nature to achieve the harmonious and unified effect of freehand brushwork and realism, freedom and regularity. For example, the eight diagrams are typical Tai Chi figures in China. Applied to landscape design, symmetry and movement are perfectly combined, showing the charm of gossip. Another example is that a city in Anhui planted a related plant with the traditional theme of' happiness from now on', gold: osmanthus; Jade: magnolia; Man: Elm is a lucky tree, and its alias is a cash cow. In autumn, the trees are covered with elm fruit like copper coins-elm money. Tang: Begonia. It means "happy forever" and brings wealth to enterprises and families. It not only expresses people's good wishes, but also shows the profoundness of our traditional culture.
