Production Technology

Bamboo basket, also the outer packing of the gift box, applies the traditional thin-thread bamboo weaving craft, demonstrating the sense of beauty of being warm and soft, and also usefulness. The cover of the calendar applies the Fengxiang New Year woodprints craft. After ten steps, from drafting to coloring, and then by rubbing on rice paper with corresponding tools, the traditional craft which has been on the wane can be perfectly presented.

Design Challenge

Take into full consideration the combination of traditional culture and daily life to design a gift box that is ideal for family interaction. In the process, the handmade part is full of challenges and requires times of tries if the best effect is expected.

Project Duration

The project was launched in Beijing in November 2021, and the design was completed and product issued to users within the territory of China in January 2022.

Operation Flow

Steps of woodblock printing of the calendar are as follows: preparation, that is, put the woodblock evenly on the table and pour some ink into the porcelain dish; inking, that is, coat the surface of the woodblock with ink, put the woodblock still for 10 seconds before coating it with ink for a second time; printing, that is, cover the woodblock with the printing paper, press it with a wood mushroom (a wood mushroom-shaped tool), and then take the paper away.

Research

Paintings on the Spring Festival were mostly known as "paintings celebrating the Spring Festival" in ancient times. Bamboo baskets are often seen in such paintings. Since the Warring States Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties, hufu (a tiger-shaped tally issued to generals for troop movement) became popular. Given the awe-inspiring image of tigers, people in the late Qing Dynasty expected to protect children against demons with tiger, so tiger cap began to prevail.

Inspiration

Intangible cultural heritage is the carrier and crystallization of cultural development in China, but it is being weakened. On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, we dig deeper China's folk culture, and draw such intangible crafts as bamboo weaving, tiger cap, woodblock engraving, hand-painted New Year pictures before integrating them into the design of the New Year gift box in the hope of showing and reshaping the charms of traditional Chinese culture.
