“和合二仙”符号的传统演变与设计衍生

The Evolution and Designing Development of the Symbol to Gods of He-He

"和合二仙"是天台山和合文化的符号表征,但随着历史的变迁,"和合二仙"却慢慢演变成中国特色的吉祥符号。在"尚和合"思想观念的影响下,"和合二仙"符号通过与不同"介质"相结合,被广泛应用于建筑、器具等各类设计中,逐渐形成了独特的设计话语系统。对于这套设计话语系统,我们应取其"形",延其"意",传其"神",以现代的设计手法与介质的再创新,把它推向更大的衍生与发展空间。

Gods of He-He has been the symbol of Tiantai Mountains Harmonious Culture. With the change of history, it has evolved into an auspicious symbol with Chinese characteristics. Influenced by the esteeming harmoniousness concept, Gods of He-He has been widely used in the design of architecture and household utensils and so on, by combining with different media, resulting in a unique designing discourse system of its own. With this designing discourse system, we should adopt its form, extend its meaning and transmit its spirit. It can be brought into a greater developing field through renovation of modern designing methods and media.
