literature review

The History of Yoga can be traced back more than 5,000 years Yoga arose f rom the foothills of the Himalayas in northern India. When training physical and mental reďŹ nement in nature, ancient Indian yogis inadvertently be healed by natural animals and plants. Such as rest, sleep, or stay awake. When suffering f rom diseases, they can be restored directly without any treatment. Hence, ancient Indian yogis created a series of useful physical and mental training systems based on the investigation, reproduction and individual experience of animal postures, namely asanas. These positions have been followed for more than 5,000 years, and the healing methods of yoga discipline have helped generations. (Eva, 2019)

The word "Yoga" derives of Indian Sanskrit "yug" or "yuj", implying the meaning of "consistent", "combination", or "harmony". Beginning of ancient India, Yoga is one of the six philosophical parties of ancient India, they hold the statement of examining the truth and method of "unity of brahman and me". The purpose of practicing yoga is further translated by modern people as a set of self-cultivation and mind-cultivation systems. Approximately 300 b.c. ago, India's great philosopher- Patanjali the father of yoga (English: Patanjali, Hindi: प त ं ŕ¤œ ल ि) built the yoga sutra of eight systems informing Indian yoga line. Yoga is a system that supports humans to raise awareness of oneself and ďŹ nd the potential inside one's body and mind. Yoga poses employed easily to master skills, further enhance an individual's sense by physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects. (Eva, 2019)

From the viewpoint of the medical beneďŹ t of yoga, it states the one of top 10 complementary health treatments. (NCCIH, 2008;2013) As it ease symptoms derive f rom chronic or terminal, and also improve mental health.(NCCIH, 2008;2013) For example, it uses as an efďŹ cient healing modality provided for the breast cancer patient.

2. The market growth of yoga The result f rom the ďŹ tness trends and the strengthening of alternative health, spur the rise of yoga and Pilates in the U.S. (Bhandalkar, S. et al., 2019) According to Yoga Journal report(2016), the numbers of yoga practitioner in the U.S. grew f rom 20.4 million to 36.7 million between 2012 and 2016.

Which, incites leading brands in the yoga apparel market to expand their business worldwide for more proďŹ t growth. (Technavio, 2017)

3. Yoga wear become fashion staple Yoga wear is becoming a fashion staple due to the well-being lifestyle.

(Technavio, 2017) The trend has captivated non-practitioner to purchase yoga wears since they feel conďŹ dent with the ďŹ tted look empower them to express their tendency to act healthy. (Patrick& Xu, 2018) The desire for cross outer pieces has produced the so-called ‘Athleisure’ trend today, in terms of the sporty yet stylish, studio to the street fashion trend.

4. Retailers "The market is not slowing down. Even after this time, big players and small players continue to expand."(Kestenbaum, 2018) Small brands that target niche markets are currently taking advantage, such us “Alo Yoga and Outdoor Voices, direct-to-consumer brands providing especially to female consumers, recognized year-over-year site trafďŹ c acceleration by 91 percent and 57 percent, respectively.â€? (Cotton Inc, 2019) In order to be competitive in the highly saturated market, retailers put endeavor in innovative product design f rom sourcing material to sewing technique and accompanied by integrated digital marketing strategy. For instance, Lululemon is well-known for to best quality in ďŹ tness leggings which is advocated by customers to the brand.

Eastern meet Western There was a cross-culture design since the 17th century's silk trade. The textile was the prominent element that gives inspiration to the Western designer (Haekyung et al., 2001) To illustrate, regarding an early embroidery piece, the designer intends to retain the scene of traditional Chinese painting with origin nature ďŹ gures in it, and decorated with hand-brushed work to create perspective and chiaroscuro. Thus, the hybrid aesthetic value of Chinese-European made the piece monumental. (Brandt, no date) (ďŹ g. 5)

Global cultural-related product in fashion and textile design Due to the globalization environment, the hybrid culture design has always been on-trend.

Western designers admire the traditional Chinese characteristics and they further infused it with contemporary modern fashion to approach a distinctive piece. (Haekyung et al., 2001)(ďŹ g. 6) On the other hand, culturally inspired commodities incorporate historical and traditional heritage knowledge would be a leading discipline approaching success. (Jin Shin et al., 2015) "In the textile and fashion industries, it could be considered important to develop cultural-based fashion products which are clear in inherent cultural identity and have high stylishness" (Hyun and Bae 2007, 139 cited in Jin Shin et al., 2015). Managing the traditional culture characteristic with modernization and globalization design process planned would ensure ourishes and preserved the culture value of this sector in the contemporary market. (Naylor 1990, 180, cited in Jin Shin et al., 2015) Contemporary design for the traditional elements involves innovative technology to create a new aesthetic form that optimizes modern consumer's satisfaction on creativity. For example, Paris fashion Louis Vuitton, Zhou Chunxia presents the pandas with beading patterns, this subversive use of design elements create a new aesthetic form and be perceived unique of the niche. (ďŹ gure 7) Meanwhile, globalization refers to businesses adopting e-commerce marketing strategies to meet the potential customer's desire for cultural inuent design products. (Jin Shin et al., 2015)

literature review

1. The origin of the concept of auspicious motif In early times, ďŹ gures or hieroglyphs intimately linked to life were seen by our ancestors as spiritual desires. The ancestors often resorted to external powers to eliminate insecurity, confusion, and fear of death, plague, death, disaster, etc. (Zi,2017) The original concept of auspiciousness was driven by faith. People query real or ďŹ ctional object as a fortune symbol to drive the ghost out, avoiding diseases, stay healthy and pursue prosperity. (Yuanqin, 2012) 2.The totem worship of Chinese mascot Totem worship of the mascot originated f rom the psychological content. People worship natural or cultural objects and interpreted with auspicious concepts. (Yuanqin, 2012) They denoted these objects to be their ancestors or patrons. With protective and empowerment attributes for ancient people in pursuing courage and skill. (Zi, 2017) Therefore, totem animals occupy an important position in Chinese ideology. (ďŹ g.8)

3. The connotation of thought The psychological thought is associated with Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. For instance, the ďŹ ve elements of yin and yang include wood, ďŹ re, metal, water, and earth.

The idea of extracting motif f rom natural explains Taoist cosmology of individuals should live harmoniously with nature (ďŹ g. 9) Thus, Chinese folk patterns are generated f rom natural things such as herbs, ducks, bugs, ďŹ sh, mammals, and other natural attributes.

A representative example of the Chinese totem mascot is the Chinese dragon and phoenix totem, the cultural meanings of the dragon is “courage, power, mystery, auspicious, happiness.� (Jiefang, 2014) Hence, auspicious patterns are interpreted for reaching people’s psychological demands Blessing, Wealthy, Longevity, and Harmony.

4.The denoted function of auspicious images ` The signiďŹ ed function of auspicious images is identiďŹ ed by symbols of the shape, homonyms meaning of the object and abstracted form presented as "charactery". (Yang et al., 2016) Symbol of Shape A symbol signiďŹ es the emotion associated with the physical characteristics of an object. For example, Chinese peony sometimes grows into doubles, thus it symbolizes prosperity and wealth. (Yang et al., 2016) (ďŹ g. 10) Semantic homonyms Semantic homonymy is about adopting the same pronunciation of the different characters. For example, ‘juzi’ (orange) symbolizes ‘jili’ (auspiciousness)(ďŹ g. 11), because the pronunciations of "Ju" and "Ji" are similar; 'huaping’ (vase) and ‘pingan’ (safety) share the homophobic character ‘ping’; the bat symbolizes blessing, because both words have a homophonic "fu". (Yang et al., 2016) (ďŹ g. 12)

ďŹ gure 10. double peony symbolizes prosperity and wealth

Abstract symbol 'Charactery' indicates the evolving of auspicious Chinese characters into a simple visual symbol and geometric shape. Aims to express the charm of the image in a concise manner. (Han, 2014) ‘Characterise’ are inherited, improved, and reďŹ ned f rom generation to generation. For example, the initiated semantic meaning of “ĺ??â€? (wanzi) is associated with the primitive people's prayer of the sun and the ďŹ re and further become the appearance of lucky in Buddhism (Gong, 2008) Hence, the simpliďŹ ed visual symbol evolved f rom abstraction has contained the profound Eastern philosophical thoughts of simplicity and silence. (Han, 2014)

Methodology Qualitative Research Object-based Practice-based Questionnaire

methodology

Ž ˆ

The research is base on a qualitative research method. According to Kawamura(2013), it is an inductive process with collected data f rom observation of the phenomenon or studying on the object. Then, make sense with the data to f rame the structure of the research topic. My research aims to examine the contemporary yoga wear market and explore the aesthetic value of the Chinese auspicious culture element in the design. Thus, historical research includes object-based, practice-based and questionnaire methods.

The questionnaire gives a quick insight into female consumers ' attitudes toward a healthy lifestyle and yoga wear and investigates on buying attitude toward Asian ornate style yoga wear. About 68% of the audience is willing to join well-being activities. Although only 34% of them practice yoga, there are 29% of them still buy for daily comfort desires. 29% of them have pattern yoga pants. Considers the factors that impact buying, comfort comes ďŹ rst, followed by ďŹ t and price. The main price point drops at ÂŁ10-ÂŁ30(44.83%), and ÂŁ30-ÂŁ50(25.86%).

Furthermore, 58% of the public don’t have a particular brand preference. Thus, encouraged the brand to establish the collection that takes all the factor that consumer concerned into design decision. With quality product in a reasonable price range. (see appendix)

Object-based research is historical research on the form of the object, including colors, shapes, silhouettes, and links with perspective meaning.

(Kawamura,2013) As material won’t speak for itself about what it stands for, instead, it is inseparable with human life. Material goods are built f rom a culturally contextual model with symbolic properties. (Kawamura,2013) In which stimulated by other disciplines of human’s life. Such as "social, cultural, historical, political, artistic, or technological research objects." (cited in Kawamura,2013, p.92)Thus, the project is to decode the cultural meaning of Chinese's auspicious motif; Employ literature review on the auspicious culture, then explore how the auspicious concept interprets by the form and shape of the pattern.

The survey method is suited to studying data that can’t be collected simply by observation (Kawamura, 2015). Thus, conducting a questionnaire survey of closed-ended questions is an imperative tool to identify the need. The process of making a questionnaire is designed by a qualitative method according to objective research. Allows insights to female yoga wear consumer's attitudes on culture-related yoga wear design.

Apart f rom yoga market research, the survey also examines consumer’s attitudes toward modern design inspired by Chinese culture. While 36.6% of them have bought clothes highlights Chinese culture element, 93% of them agree the unique aesthetic value on modern fashion features Chinese culture elements. The purchase intention on creative yoga wear inuent by Chinese culture recored as 60.52 among 58 participants. Meanwhile, 79.31% of them are excited about knowing the meaning implies of the pattern. (see appendix) Regarding on which type of motif is more popular among the practitioners, 60% of them prefer oral pattern type, and 23.75% of them prefer fortune animals. The result have proved that creative culture related yoga wear design will add aesthetic value for the product.

Thus,the market is identiďŹ ed for the brand to developed collection of yoga wear associated with Chinese auspicious culture. (see appendix)

“Practice-based Research is an original investigation undertaken to gain new knowledge partly using practice and the outcomes of that practice.�

(Candy, 2006) As knowledge can be partially developed through practice.

Artifacts in setting a critical cultural portfolio will demonstrate the level of knowledge acquainted related to the research ďŹ eld. Design development on product and business case studies would further manifest the knowledge gain f rom object-based research.
