What is the embodiment of traditional culture today?

The landscape planning and design of the Olympic Forest Park and the central area emphasize China's philosophy of Yin and Yang, forming three landscape areas representing history, present and future from south to north. Borrowing the traditional concept of "gate" in China, we set up five-ring gates in the starting area of the Olympic Park with modern design techniques, taking the "origin" space and "Mengshan" as the starting and ending points of the spatial sequence, and the landscape design of each space strives to embody "green Olympics and high-tech Olympics".

The release of the torch relay landscape design for Beijing Olympic Games mainly includes five parts: torch and extension design, fleet and aircraft design, torch relay costume design, torch relay site environment design and urban landscape design. The landscape design scheme has a unique visual effect, which is obviously different from previous Olympic Games. It is the perfect combination of traditional culture and modernity in China, and has far-reaching influence.

The design of the city celebration cauldron is based on the concept of "the sky is round and the earth is round", and the design elements are the Ding and Xiangyun patterns, which are the representatives of Chinese bronzes. The 56 auspicious clouds hollowed out at the top symbolize that 56 ethnic groups in China bring blessings to five continents; The four pillars and eight sides symbolize that the Beijing Olympic Games welcomes guests and friends from all directions; The height of the main torch is 130cm, which symbolizes that the torch relay of Beijing Olympic Games lasts130 days. The basin is 29 cm deep, symbolizing the 29th Olympic Games. The column height is 1 12 cm, which symbolizes that the Olympic Movement has gone through 1 12 years from 1896 to 2008.

Natural landscape and human landscape are integrated, and traditional culture and modern civilization are combined.

Baitang Lake reappears charming scenery.

On the third day of the fifth lunar month this year, the sparkling Baitang Lake was full of gongs and drums, and 27 dragon boats were ready to go, and the shouts were tight for a while. After a lapse of 12 years, Hanjiang people finally saw the ancient Dragon Boat Festival at their doorstep. Chen Daniang, 8 1 year-old in Wushang Village, was fascinated and giggled with a small mouth: "Where can I find this wide, flat and clean water surface now!"

According to the organizer, Hanjiang District chose Baitang Lake to hold the Dragon Boat Invitational Tournament this time. The purpose is not only in the activity itself, but also in a deeper sense, to fully tap the traditional cultural heritage of Baitang Lake, improve the tourism taste of Baitang Lake, and then promote investment attraction. The mysterious veil of Baitang Lake is being unveiled layer by layer.

Baitang Lake, also known as Baitang Lake, is the largest natural lake in the province. The main lake covers an area of 385 mu, including more than 600 mu of inland water surface. The surrounding rivers crisscross like "storing thousands of hectares". "Autumn Moon in Baitang" is one of the 24 scenic spots in Putian. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, "the Milky Way is bright, the rabbit spirit blends in, the boat weaves, and there is an endless stream". Last year, Yangwei Village, the only "provincial historical and cultural village" in our city, was located near Baitang Lake, which added a lot of color to the development of Baitang Lake.

On June 8, just after a rainy day, the author wandered around Baitang Lake, only to see the blue waves rippling on the lake, and there were thirty or forty fishing enthusiasts scattered on the curved shore in the north. Chen Fengming in Chengxiang District told me that the scenery here is very beautiful. Anglers can enjoy a leisurely fishing life for a day as long as they pay five yuan. In the past two years, he fished here almost every weekend, catching at least six or seven pounds a day, which not only earned his capital back, but also enjoyed his happiness in vain! But according to local people, a few years ago, Baitang Lake was not as beautiful as it is today.

Baitang Lake was once dubbed as an exiled girl. Because it is located in the lower reaches of Mulan River, water hyacinth once spread on the lake, domestic garbage floated and cage culture was uncontrolled, which led to serious pollution and lack of management on the lake shore. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon is in the sky, the muddy lake is muddy, and the name of "White Pond and Autumn Moon" is not true.

In recent years, the party committee and government of Hanjiang District have attached great importance to the construction of Baitang tourist attractions. In just two or three years, they have invested nearly 10 million yuan to comprehensively improve the inland rivers in the whole region, straightened out the geographical affiliation with Baitang Lake in Putian County, and changed hundreds of acres of cage culture into natural fish farming. At present, the district government has invested 6.5438+0.3 million yuan, requisitioned 654.38+0.42 mu of land, adjusted 654.38+0.23 mu of land for industrial structure, and built more than 3,000 meters of slopes along the lakeside revetment. Peach blossom forest, litchi belt, plum blossom forest, green belt and other supporting scenic spots have been initially built, including peach, plum, litchi and willow.

In the District Tourism Bureau, the author saw the detailed planning materials of Baitang Lake designed by experts from Suzhou Garden Planning Institute, established the planning based on natural landscape and human landscape, highlighted the combination of traditional culture and modern civilization, and emphasized the local characteristics and historical and cultural atmosphere of ecology and water town customs. Baitang Lake Scenic Area is 2.4 square kilometers, and it is planned to be five parts: landscape viewing area, Baitang Lake Park area, historical and cultural protection area, ecological park area and senior villa area. It is estimated that the total investment is 330 million yuan, and the whole project will be developed in three phases, and about 800 mu of land can be developed along the lake. The huge investment plan is far from enough to rely solely on the financial resources of the government. Hanjiang District breaks through the train of thought and follows the principle of "whoever invests benefits" and takes the road of attracting investment. It is understood that investment has entered the stage of substantive negotiations.

Talking about the significance of the development of Baitang Lake, the leaders of the District Tourism Bureau said that after the completion of the development, with Baitang Lake as the leader, Ruiyun Mountain Forest Park in the ocean, Jia Kui Sacrificial Cottage in Zheng Qiao, Xinxian County, and? Green edge rafting, hot spring fitness, Jiangkou Nangshan Temple and other one-stop mountain climbing tourist routes, while receiving radiation from well-known scenic spots such as Mazu, Jiuli Lake and South Shaolin in Meizhou, thus promoting the formation of a "big tourism" pattern in the Han River.

The combination of tradition and modernity

-On the Nationality and Times of Art Design

The word "art design" was formally put forward by the Ministry of Education in 1998 when the new university catalogue was formulated, but its development was far before this. Because the design organization system is born out of design consciousness and materialized, it is a derivative of national design consciousness, and it is linked with the activities and practical achievements under the guidance of people's design thoughts, so it is branded with different national colors. In order to survive and live, human beings are constantly pursuing something. In order to meet this demand, human beings create with their own hands. People's needs are various, and the development of material and spiritual art design is a long process. There are needs to meet people's physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs and self-realization needs. In order to meet the needs of life and the richness of demand, people have carried out different levels, different varieties and different forms of creative activities, and art design came into being.

Art design can reflect a nation's lifestyle and scientific and technological level, and the spiritual expression of art design reflects a nation's aesthetic psychology and fashion. Therefore, the nationality of art design needs to be combined with the development of the times. Tradition is the foundation and condition of design, and times are the basic material for design development. Only by effectively combining the two can we create a perfect artistic design and improve the quality of human life. Nationality constitutes the inherent stipulation of artistic value. The past, present and future of a great nation will be accompanied by the development and prosperity of literature and art, and truly great works of art are always full of nationality and contain distinctive and rich national temperament. They are the flowers and fruits of national consciousness and national spiritual life. The key to the nationality of artistic works lies in the national spirit and the unique way and vision of a nation to understand things and observe the world. There is a natural connection between national art and national spirit. The spirit of the times is the basic factor and main substance that constitutes the value of literature and art, and it is the basic value pursuit and value orientation of great art. We should actively absorb all the outstanding achievements of China's history and foreign culture, and resolutely abandon all the cultural dross and spiritual garbage of feudal capitalism. We should adopt an analytical attitude towards China's historical culture and foreign culture, and ask how art designers can "promote national art and inspire national spirit" in their own practice. Consciously cherish and make full use of the precious spiritual wealth of literary masterpieces and literary masters produced by our nation in various historical development stages. Artists should consciously respect the creative spiritual labor of literary and art workers, warmly encourage and expect them to create new literary masterpieces and produce new literary masters in reflecting the new historical struggle of their own nation and the profound spiritual call of the people. Actively absorb the outstanding cultural achievements of other nations in the world and realize the cultural progress with the times. Culturally, we should never adopt a narrow nationalist stance and attitude that is self-enclosed and blindly exclusive. Because all kinds of thoughts and cultures in today's world are both progressive and similar.

The famous cultural anthropologist Marinlovsky said: "In human social life, the needs of all living things have been transformed into the needs of culture; Modern art design is a design discipline based on culture, life and modernity. Therefore, whether in theory or in practice, we should treat art design as a cultural form: in modern society, the study of design theory is not only an in-depth analysis of one discipline, but also an integrated view of many disciplines. Taking art design activities as a cultural phenomenon is not only the satisfaction of simple material functions and spiritual needs, but also the connotation that modern designers must explore. China's traditional graphics are endless and have a long history, not only because their shapes have good appreciation value, but more importantly, these traditional graphics we see often contain more and deeper auspicious meanings. China's auspicious culture is a set of artistic forms under the guidance of idealism and romanticism. Through metaphor, analogy, pun, homophonic and symbol, it shows the attitude of ancestors towards a better life and avoiding disasters. The concreteness and abstraction of auspicious culture and art in China coexist in parallel. Abstraction comes from concreteness, which is the expression of abstraction and the perfect and ingenious combination of sensibility and rationality. External form is the expression of internal meaning, and it is the externalization and materialization of internal meaning. The implication behind China's traditional modeling is people's expectation and yearning for beautiful things, so the auspicious implication behind the traditional modeling is also applicable to modern design and conveys modern people's design ideas. For example, the logo of China Unicom adopts the shape of "Panchang", which is one of the "Eight Auspiciouss" derived from the Eight Buddhists, meaning "a long history and endless life". The continuation of this auspicious implication makes our modern design less commercialized and more cultural and friendly. It is also a good way to use the auspicious meaning behind traditional graphics in modern design to extend and update the deeper conceptual spirit and make it more cultural and social. It is essential to learn from traditional forms, but the inheritance of "form" and "meaning" is only the superficial development and promotion of traditional modeling. The creation of new national forms requires us to get rid of the materialized representation of aesthetic tradition and enter the deep spiritual field to explore. China's art pays attention to vividness, and the description of god is higher than the description of form, the subjective feeling of objective objects, the inner experience of aesthetics and the feeling of "verve". It does not conquer readers with the vividness of "reappearance", but makes "God" transcend perceptual phenomena and sublimate in the mind with the vividness of "things", thus forming China's unique aesthetic taste. Only on the basis of deeply understanding the traditional artistic spirit and fully understanding various design trends from the modern west can we make a national form that conforms to the new era and find a modern design that truly belongs to our nation and can be recognized by the international community. In this regard, the emblem of the 2008 Olympic Games, "China Seal Dancing Beijing", can be said to be a good example. The whole logo modeling draws lessons from the expression forms of traditional art seals, uses the unique freehand brushwork technique between likeness and dissimilarity in China, and combines traditional art forms such as China's seals and calligraphy with sports characteristics. After artistic exaggeration and deformation, it is subtly transformed into a sports humanoid that runs forward and dances to meet victory. The character shape looks very modern. " Therefore, we should see that the highly scientific and information-based modern society has brought great impact to the traditional plastic arts, but it has also brought new development opportunities. The introduction of new concepts and ways of thinking provides us with more possibilities to re-examine traditional cultural concepts. As long as we have a good grasp of "God" and "Meaning", we will eventually find our new "image". In a word, we emphasize the absorption and integration of spirit, because only based on the absorption and integration of philosophical spirit can we realize the real integration of aesthetic consciousness. Only the absorption and integration of spirit can avoid copying the fixed pattern of traditional art and lead to the diversification of modern design styles and forms in China. Absorbing in comparison and inheriting in comparison will be a road for China's modern design to be brilliant. I believe that in the near future, China's modern design art will attract the world's attention with its rich national style and strong sense of modernity.

The nationality of art refers to "using the unique artistic forms and techniques of this nation to reflect real life and make literary and artistic works have national style and style." Artistic works with national characteristics are created in the form of traditional art based on the cultural and artistic traditions and aesthetic consciousness of the nation, which mainly show the life, thoughts and feelings, aspirations and artistic aesthetic taste of the people of the nation. To maintain the nationality of art, we can't be arrogant and ignore the essence of his national art; Absorbing the essence of his national art is not to dispel the national personality. We can't pray that an art contains all the advantages of art, but should constantly absorb the essence of other national arts to improve and develop our own national art. The contemporary view of art is to get rid of the bondage, emancipate the mind and abandon the national cultural tradition, which is the power expansion beyond the class. As far as art is concerned, it is a form and content that can be accepted and accommodated by many nationalities.

On the big stage of design art, nationality and times are dialectical relations that complement each other and are contradictory and unified. Only the combination of them can make design art more brilliant.
