Abstract: The evolution of Chinese culture over five millennia has instilled profound cultural self-assurance among its people, sparking a resurgence of interest in traditional values. This resurgence has catalyzed a proliferation of cultural product designs that encapsulate China's rich heritage. This thesis aims to explore the evolution of ancient Chinese design and its contemporary relevance. By tracing the historical development of Chinese design, we uncover its foundational principles and enduring legacy. Additionally, we analyze the adaptation of traditional design elements amidst the transition to modernity, shedding light on their continued relevance in contemporary design. Through a nuanced examination of this relationship, we offer theoretical insights and practical implications for design professionals. Furthermore, by incorporating specific examples and case studies, we illustrate how ancient Chinese design motifs are seamlessly integrated into modern design paradigms. In essence, this thesis serves as a scholarly inquiry into the dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation in Chinese design, offering guidance for navigating this complex terrain in the contemporary design landscape.
