Abstract

The civilization of China has a long history of more than 5000 years. Through the ages, it has vicissitudes and accumulations of culture much more than any other countries in the world. The 5000 years of history leaves us not only the old days to be remembered, but also the accumulation of culture and changes and upgrade of tradition. There is no doubt that in the worldly cultural garden, Chinese culture occupies a large land. Some people even say that the most beautiful cultural elements exist in China. However, the splendid elements and cultural deposits have not been explored in the modern time and some part of traditional culture has not been endowed with new concepts that comfort to the new age. Therefore, traditional culture might be ill-adapted to modern people. Culture is objective originally and it has no responsibility. As descendants of Chinese civilization, we should fully uphold the Chinese excellent traditional culture and make a lift of it so as to make it possess new vitality and energy in the new age. In nowadays society, in the area of designing, inspiration is the core essential factor though it comes with certain contingency. Chinese traditional cultural elements are an important origin of inspiration and they have been applied into their designs in recent years. This paper attempts to discuss the successful cases of how Chinese traditional cultural elements are used in modern art design and points out some mistakes and misunderstandings about the integration of traditional culture and modern art design.
