RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The screen is originally known as Autumn Garden Scene Under Moon, showing the scenery of the garden in the moonlight in autumn with the image of chrysanthemum, one of the four types of flowers that stand for lofty morality, and osmanthus, the municipal flower of Suzhou. A paradise like space has been created thanks to the oriental charm of implicitness and elegance of the Zhuozheng Garden nearby, the NO. One Garden in China, where there are clear water and green mountains. The screen is exquisitely decorated with traditional lacquer art, rendering a charm of luxury and elegance.
CHALLENGE: Traditional culture and aesthetic value are the internalization of spiritual core. Contemporary design can gradually create a strange sense of familiarity by building on the leading design concepts worldwide, retaining the cultural core of our nation, experiencing the interesting traditional culture and thinking about the trend of modern arts.
