While the varieties of arts and crafts around us today are many times more than those in ancient times, we cannot deny that many of the shapes used in modern life appeared as early as thousands of years ago, and their basic rules of composition were formed in ancient times, and have not changed much even today. They contain the wisdom and creative talents of ancient craftsmen. There are also many artifacts that have strong representativeness due to their unique features such as shape, decoration and text. So our design today can learn from the excellent results of the ancients, less detour, innovation on the basis of the predecessor, to achieve a combination of traditional and modern. This is both inheritance of tradition and innovation, the creation of works have charm.

Today, arts and crafts in our activities are indispensable, and people's lives are inseparable, it can be said that all around us are arts and crafts. However, our arts and crafts today are far from being comparable to those of the past. Many handicrafts are crude, the shape of the design is not exquisite, color matching is not reasonable. Perhaps due to the rapid development of society, today's arts and crafts production is no longer like the former as completely by hand to complete, people in pursuit of more profits in the production process to add the mechanical components, some can even be completely by the machine production, which completely changed the concept of traditional arts and crafts.

Today's arts and crafts are very close to artistic design, that is, first design what you want and then mechanically processed, it is built on the basis of assembly line production, with the functional beauty of mechanical technology, is to practical function as the ultimate goal reflecting the characteristics of large quantities, standardization of harmony and rationality of the technical beauty of the characteristics of the combination of science and technology, rather than a combination of technology and art as in the case of arts and crafts.

At the same time, it can also improve our art appreciation and discernment, paving the way for our future development. Arts and crafts can not be separated from the art design and production process, learning the excellent design methods of the past, the production process for my future design and creation has far-reaching significance. There is a lot of traditional culture in arts and crafts, which often represents our nation, combining these traditional national things with modern ones, and applying them to our designs in order to create something new, and to cater to the idea that "the national is the world".

In our future design work, we should be good at learning and absorbing the essence of Chinese culture, enhance their national self-confidence and pride, cultivate sentiment, improve artistic literacy and aesthetic perception of arts and crafts.
