中国元素与现代设计
摘 要：“中国元素与风格”是中国现代设计的热门话题，但中国的设计产业还未成熟，对中国元素的应用比较表面化和符号化。中国元素的内涵非常深厚和宽泛，它不是单纯的具象的事物，而是中国精神的载体。另一方面，中国的传统文化对周边国家的文化有很大的影响，“东方文化”与“中国式”文化很多时候是近义词，这种影响也体现在各种设计中。将中国元素应用于现代设计，不可简单地复制以前的东西，必须发挥创造力，结合实用主义和功能主义，将中国元素真正地融入到现代设计中去。

Abstract："The Chinese element and the style" is the hottest topic in the Chinese modern design field. For China's design industry is immature, Chinese designers interpret Chinese element kind of broadly rather than in depth. The connotation of Chinese element is extremely deep and broad. It is the Chinese spirit carrier rather than the pure embodiment thing. On the other hand, China's traditional culture had a profound effect on the cultures of the peripheral nations. The two phrases "Eastern culture" and "Chinese culture” always have the same meaning in peoples’ minds. This kind of thought also manifests itself in many kinds of designs. One should not simply duplicate the old design to apply Chinese element in modern design but display one’s creativity, follow the pragmatic theory, hence truly melt “The Chinese element” into the modern design.
