What is China's ancient traditional design thought?

China is an ancient civilization with a long history. In the recorded 5,000-year history of civilization evolution, the institutional changes of literature, painting, music and philosophy have left a glorious page for the whole history of human development. It can be proved that our ancestors lived in this oriental land for no less than 6,543.8+0,000 years. During this long time, our ancestors used stone tools, pottery, bronze, iron, wood and jade, which wrote a brilliant chapter for human civilization.

After thousands of years of changes in slave society, feudal society and capital society, the ancestors explored the world view, constantly improved the knowledge structure system, profoundly summarized the significance and value of their own society, deepened the pace of artistic creation exploration, and made people fully understand and affirm the social status of "design".

The origin of ancient design aesthetics in China can be traced back to prehistoric times. In the description of materials in ancient documents, our ancestors not only had aesthetic orientation about design, but also had various imaginative thinking about the origin of design. They believe that design originates from the demand for objects, shapes, functions and aesthetic tastes, and its function is to help mankind conquer nature and defeat the enemy.

At that time, these early ideas appeared in the form of religion and myth, which became the embryo and bud of design thought in later civilized society. Around the Western Zhou Dynasty (BC 1 1 century), China entered the era of slavery, and then the Millennium entered the embryonic period of feudal social system in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During this period, the aesthetic design thought gradually matured and laid its own unique oriental design cultural charm.
