In the busy city of Changsha, a friend of mine runs a liquor distributor. He is not only a helmsman in the sea of commerce, but also a guardian full of love for traditional Chinese culture. By chance, he entrusted me with a special task - to design a liquor package that not only carries the traditional Chinese cultural values, but also conveys a positive attitude toward life. In order to capture the deep connection between traditional Chinese culture and baijiu, I immersed myself in the ocean of history and culture, searching for elements that could touch the heart. Finally, in the Song Dynasty Weixin Zen master's sentence "see the mountains and see the water", I found the inspiration for the design. This is not only a realm, but also a philosophy of life, which tells us to look into the beauty of nature and experience the true meaning of life. So, I injected this concept into the upcoming white wine packaging design. The shape of the bottle is like an old fisherman, sitting quietly among the mountains and rivers, which reminds people of the wise man fishing by the stream. The bottle cap is made of natural wood and covered with a cap shaped like a bamboo hat, which retains the traditional flavor and adds a touch of chic ingenuity. In order to make this quiet and dynamic picture more vivid, I used a linear relief process on the bottle body. The majesty of the mountain, the tranquility of the lake and the length of the reflection are intertwined, which not only enhances the tactile experience of consumers, but also visually interprets a harmonious dialogue between dynamic and static. In this packaging design, I strive to capture and convey the combination of classical Chinese aesthetics and modern aesthetics. It is not only a container used to hold wine, but also a piece of art that can make people stop to appreciate. When consumers open this bottle of wine, they are not only sharing a drink, but also savoring a culture, an emotion, and a life wisdom from the ancient wise. The sales channel of this liquor is positioned in group buying and retail, whether it is a choice for corporate welfare, or a good product for personal wine collection, it can be perfectly adapted. It is not just a bottle of wine, it is a symbol of culture, is the inheritance of traditional Chinese values, is a soul exchange. Behind this design, I have invested a lot of effort and emotion, hoping that it can not only become a successful product, but also become a carrier of traditional Chinese culture, so that more people can feel the depth and beauty of Chinese culture through this liquor. With the birth of this liquor, it carries not only mellow wine, but also our respect and inheritance of traditional culture. Every bottle of wine is a story, every tasting is a journey, taking us through the long river of time, back to that simple and profound era, and experiencing the wisdom and tranquility of "seeing the mountains and the water".
