Xin Fu: Pattern design based on the four major Chinese folk New Year paintings
《新福》中国民间四大年画纹样设计

摘要

本研究聚焦中国四大木版年画（苏州桃花坞、开封朱仙镇、天津杨柳青、潍坊杨家埠）的非遗传承与现代转化问题。针对其在当代应用场景萎缩及审美隔阂的现状，通过设计实践探索活化路径。研究从传统年画中提取标志性纹样与色彩，经符号解构与重组进行再设计；并借助现代色彩分析方法调整色值，以适配当代审美与家居环境。最终产出四组创新纹样及其布包、手帕等衍生品，验证了非遗元素在现代日常载体中转化的可行性，为传统文化资源的创新设计提供实践参考。

Abstract

This study focuses on the inheritance and modern transformation of four major Chinese woodblock New Year paintings. To address their declining contemporary relevance and aesthetic disconnect, design practice is adopted as an activation approach. Iconic patterns and colors are extracted from traditional paintings, then redesigned through deconstruction and recombination. Modern color analysis methods are applied to adjust color values for contemporary aesthetics and living spaces. The outcome includes four sets of innovative patterns and derivative products like cloth bags and handkerchiefs, demonstrating the feasibility of transforming intangible cultural heritage elements into modern daily items. This provides a practical reference for innovatively designing traditional cultural resources.
