Executive Summary

China has a lengthy, rich and varied cultural heritage. How can this be transferred and developed into modern design objects? This project is about finding the essence of “Chinese-ness”, and how that unique element can be embodied in design outcomes, so that they pay tribute to the past whilst also looking to the future. The outcome of this project is an experimental music player that embodies “hanxu” in different layers. Hanxu is the art of language, an indirect way of communication. It is widely used in Chinese literature and poems. As a literature method, it is considered to be more tasteful and elegant. In this context, it is about playing with different senses of the human body. Words can be used to describe certain feelings, but by matching them with unrelated senses, things can be expressed indirectly. For example, ‘smelling the music’ could deliver this totally new experience to an audience who cannot physically experience it but can imagine it. In a good hanxu poem, the reader reads between the lines and gets beyond them. During a conversation, to gain deeper understanding, people need to process non-verbal communication such as hand gestures and facial expressions. Therefore, both sides have to have the skill to observe and absorb all different kinds of information from each other to react accordingly. To interact with the music player, the user will implement their surroundings as the media. By picking up colours and patterns from the immediate environment, they will give the player hints which it will interpret and adjust its playlist accordingly. The music player will observe and learn from the user’s subtle body language to learn if the user likes the music, and will suggest tracks along simlar lines. Therefore, it will grow with the user, and the more it is used, the smarter it will be. The goal of this project is not to point out the aesthetic differences between a Chinese music player and a Western one, but to emphasise how a unique philosophical cultural concept can be embodied in a design outcome. This project would be considered a good case study for cultural transfer research. It offers a different option, supplies another angle and evokes further discussion.

“Creative industry in China”

Introduction Once I was sitting in Dubai’s airport and waiting for the flight, two guys from Africa started talking to me. They have a business in Guangzhou, one of the main “made in China“ city in the south of China. We talked about mass production and economic transformation happening in China. On one hand, I am happy that manufacturing creates more jobs and better life to the local people. On the other hand though, I am deeply worried about the fact that products are designed in Europe and the US that actually failed to offer the beautify and strength of cultural diversity of China. The world definitely deserves to enjoy the culture and philosophy of every single region in terms of product design. Industrial design was born from the industrial revolution and evolved alongside changing western society. Therefore, the way of classic design philosophy and cultural value are structured with strong western features. The impression people have is that everything made in China is cheap and of low quality. On the other hand, China has a lengthy, rich and varied cultural heritage. How can this be transferred and developed into modern design objects? During the GoGlobal project in China in 2010, there was a culture transfer workshop held by IDE PHD stu-

dent Wenjin Yao. In the workshop she asked participants to look for the cultural elements and feed them into design. It was interesting to see how people from different cultural backgrounds seek elements inspired by their own originated cultural bond and use them in design. However, I realised that without cultural understanding there are barely ways to use them in a deep and meaningful way. Even with Chinese cultural background, it is still a difficult research question. China has nearly 4000 years of continous history. There are so many different aspects of culture. Where to seek the uniqueness of it? And how to embody this “Chinese-ness” into design outcome? What is the situation of design industry so far? How it get to there and where should Chinese design go in the future? There are already a lot of designers seeking for answers. As a Chinese designer, I want to explore the answers from my own perspective. “How to embody “Chinese-ness” into an design object? The process and thinking of this project would be a case study for other Chinese designers to bring the culture into design outcome. At the same time, I hope the project will be a fresh perspective for westerners to learn Chinese culture.

Research Understanding In the primary research, I wanted to understand what is the situation for the design industry in China so far and why is it like that? I talked to different relevant people including my peers from college who have been working in the industry for one year as well as graduates who have working in the industry for more than 5 years.

• creativity is expensive Creativity needs time, resource and the right people. And it is also highly risky. All of these cost money. Only big companies can afford this. But for smaller companies, which are the most cases, they don’t want to “waste money” on design or just simply can’t afford it. They prefer to have safe and ready-made “examples”.

I also got chance to talk to Italian designer and educator Barbara Casati, who has lived and worked in China for 8 years. “The industry changed a lot in the past few years in China. Back in time, no one known what is design or care about it. Nowadays, design is one of the hot topic among not only designers but also CEOs.”

• policy & environment In the west, industrial design was born in industrial revolution, the transition is smooth and nature. So the policy and environment are relatively mature. In China however, there is a big gap because of the war and the“cultural revolution”. China also has its uniqueness in terms of society structure and economical policy. Everything is still in a chaos. Design is still struggling to find its way in this young environment.

Form the conversation with her, I got to know the first hand of information about the changing and developing in the industry as well as in people’s mind. At the same time, from different online resource, I learned about the latest situation of design consultancies as well as companies which do care about design. In general, the result of this primary research are as follows. • manufacturing can make money Why companies don’t want to be creative and produce product that has been properly designed? One of the reason is that companies can already make money just by manufacturing. China is relatively rich in resource, in terms of raw materials as well as labour force. So companies sit on these advantages and make money from manufacturing. They are happy as long as they can make money. However China will lose these kind of advantages. In fact the cheapest manufacturing place has already moved away from China to neighbour countries, such as India and Vietnam. At the same time, the inefficient use of natural resources and China’s massive activity level of production has pushed the prices up over the years. The rest of the resource will only be more and more expensive. It won’t be cheap to manufacture in China because the raw material will be expensive. And, the cost of labor is raising as well. Therefore the comparative advantage in labour costs as the core competence of china’s manufacturing industry, the cost leadership, is diminishing. The only survival way against its rivals is the product differentiation which can be only delivered by design in terms of both product design and innovative thinking of the market.

• lacking acknowledge of branding and design Design, especially industrial design is still new to a lot of people. I remember having to explain people what industrial design means and why we need it. Even now, the majority doesn’t know the concept of design and company’s don’t appreciate the value design can bring. • time The industry and market simply need time to grow and be mature. The manufacturing industry in China is still at the lower level of the value chain of the world production as they can only compete with others on costs. However, they are losing the cost-leadership as the labour cost increases, alongside the economic development, which delivers the increasing income level in the area. The only way to survive is to bring product differentiation which can only be successful, if design became the heart of it. The industrial life cycle in China is now at the developing stage and the clock is ticking for survival.

What’s out there already There are certainly designers and companies who know the importance of design and trying to design unique Chinese products. Lenovo (联想)1, is one of the most famous company founded and headquartered in China with a product range from laptops to consumer electronics. Lenovo integrates traditional Chinese elements into their product. Aigo (爱国者)2, another company which produce consumer electronics, also tries to use traditional Chinese elements into their product. The pictures are showing some examples of their product. 1 联想 http://www.lenovo.com.cn/

In furniture design there are several featured design brands and studios. Nature Bamboo3 is a design brand “finding the beauty of nature, seeking new story and pattern of bamboo, and makeing it go with modern life.“ INNOVO (品物流形)4 is a young brand trying to embody Chinese philosophy in furniture design. Their work have been exhibited in Milan design week from 2009 to 2011. Banmoo（半木）5 is a brand trying to give antic Chinese furniture new form to fit into today’s modern life. 3 http://www.naturebamboo.com/

Methodology Mapping of the “Chinese-ness“ After the initial research, the first thing I did was to map out classic Chinese elements16 to help me to find “What is the essence of Chinese-ness”. Then, I organized these elements into categories including festival, custom, architecture, literature, philosophy, invention, object and characteristic. Considering the huge size of the topic, this map helped me to break down the topic as well as having an overview of the potential element that I can develop in the design process.

Tale 1 Bringing back tradition I decided to start with something simple. There are a lot interesting traditional objects dying and gradually fade out from people’s life. However because of long history, these objects often have cultural uniqueness and are beloved among old generations. How can we bring back a traditional object into today’s context? So they not only have the cultural uniqueness but also fit in today’s lifestyle.

EXP Candle I chose a traditional wedding candle to be the subject of this experiment. Lighting a wedding candle for the wedding night is a tradition since ancient China. The candles usually come in pairs. One of them has dragon pattern and the other one has Phoenix pattern. These are the symbols to wish the bride and bridegroom a good long life together. This tradition gradually disappeared in the last decade, because of the conveniency of the electrical light bulb and because burning candle has health and safety issues. Using candles in the room is not con-

sidered to be safe. In the process of design, the key element I wanted to keep was the good wish that the candle carries, which are represented by the Phoenix and Dragon patterns. At the same time, the object should fit into today’s lifestyle. It should be convenient and safe. And as an object sits inside the bedroom, it should have functions for daily usage after the wedding. Here are some photos of the sketches as well as material testing for the design. The result of this quick experiment is a nightlight made of acrylic top and wooden stand with a modernised phoenix and dragon pattern on the surface representing the “good wish”. The flame shape and the red color light suggests the traditional candle image, though the acrylic and choice of color of light makes the “candle” blend more into today’s context.

as the color of red which means happiness, so it is key to keep those elements but express them in a modern language. In terms of the modern design language, it could be the material, the shape, the pattern, etc. This experiment successfully demonstrates how to bring back a traditional object into today’s context. However, because this process is mainly based on aesthetics, it is difficult to have more fundamental innovation in terms of the quality of the transformation and the function of the object. The result is too straight forward and plain. Because of this, I decided to move to more abstract side of cultural elements, hopefully I can get more interesting result.

The key insight from this experiment is that, “update” a traditional object to today will enrich a design object’s cultural heritage. The key for this process is to redefine the object. What is the function in today’s context? What is the cultural and emotion value? Which part of the object is carrying this value? And then use design language to transform those cultural elements. In the candle case, the value exists in the Phoenix and Dragon pattern, which means good future as well

Tale 2 The balance of yin and yang As mentioned in the previous paragraph, I decided to integrate a more abstract side of the cultural elements to enable some more intriguing and interesting outcome. The research question I set up for this phase was, “How to communicate a concept of Chinese philosophy through an object?“ I decided to communicate the philosophical concept of the balance of Ying-Yang17. It is one of the most fundamental and well known concept in Chinese philosophy born and developed since Chunqiu Dynasty (around 2nd century BC). It influenced the whole Chinese culture in different levels and stages throughout the development of the culture itself, even today’s society and daily life.

About yin and yang “The concept of Ying-Yang is used to describe how polar or seemingly contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other in turn. Opposites thus 17 Wikipedia contributors. yinyang [Online]

only exist in relation to each other.” (from Wikipedia) This explanation is the core of the philosophy. By the time, the yin and yang concept developed a lot and have much more meaning than this definition. That’s also one reason why it influences Chinese culture in so many different aspects. To communicate this yin yang balance concept I broke it down to three different aspects to make it is easier to focus and translate the concept step by step. The three aspects are: “Wu ji bi fan” (物极必反)28, means “One thing’s extreme equals the foundation of its contrary.” “Yi rou ke gang” (以柔克刚)39，means “Negative can balance out the positive, and vice-versa.” “Ci xiao bi zhang” (此消彼长)410 , means ”when one is rising, the other is falling.” Around these aspects, I brainstormed and structured three experiments.

EXP Growing flowers

trying to communicate.

In this experiment I want to communicate the concept of “One thing’s extreme equals the foundation of its contrary.”

This experiment was unsuccessful. People don’t understand what this interactive flower is about and what is the philosophy behind it. To them, it is more of an interesting game or an interactive installation. Without design purpose it is difficult to translate the philosophy direct into a product. Purely communication of the balance of yin and yang seemingly will end up in an art installation rather than have some sort of design potential. This approach is a failure.

This concept is usually used to describe how things develop, and how people should make the right decision to keep the balance in order to help the development but stop at the right time. Too much help and stimulus will make it worse than no help at all. As an example,fertilizing is considered to be good for plants in general. But too much in one go will burn the root of plant and kill it. So it is important to control the amount of fertilizer. To communicate this I designed an interactive virtual flower. When the subject come close to the table, a virtual flower on the computer’s screen start to grow bigger, the closer the subject to the table the bigger the flower grows. But once the subject get too close to the table the flower will suddenly collapse.

I still believe that a good cultural translation should have a deeper meaning and I believe the soul of a product should come from a philosophical origin. But how to approach the philosophy? How to heritage, integrate and most importantly develop it into a potential design outcome?

A distance sensor is used to detect where the subject is. The data is then fed to the computer by Arduino. Processing is used to draw different flower on the screen. The processing code for the flower is from blprnt, modified and used under open source license. The complete code is attatched in Appendix. During the process, the subject can see the flower growing and decreasing according to the distance between he or she and the table.The subjects are asked to walk freely in front of the table and see the change of the flower on the screen. Afterwards the subjects are asked about what what do they think and what philosophy this interaction is

Tale 3 Hanxu About Hanxu I took a step back and looked into how this yin and yang balance philosophy influences social behaviour. One aspect of the yin yang concept talks about how to have the right distance between people to sustain a good relationship, neither too distant nor too close. In general, Chinese people tend to be more indirect in terms of communication. And this indirectness is called “Han xu”11. For example, if I just arrived at my friend’s place and want to have something to drink. Instead of asking”hey, can I have a glass of water please?” The hanxu way is to say “It is really hot outside, it took me half an hour to walk to here.” So I will give hints about what I want, without asking directly. My friend will understand what I am hinting for and offer me something to drink. Hanxu also exist a lot in Chinese literature and poem, 11含蓄解释和意思---词语 [Online] Available from: http://xh.5156edu. com/html5/245659.html [Accessed 5/10/2011].

Hey, can I have something to drink please?

Direct way

as a literature method. Because people appreciate the indirectness more. It is considered to be more tasteful and elegant. And because it’s ambiguity and blurriness, it leaves free space for people’s imagination to fly and bring lovely unexpectedness into the communication. Given a good hanxu poem, the reader reads between the lines and gets beyond the lines. What is beyond the lines comes from hanxu. I found Hanxu is easier to translate to a product but still has free space for me to explore. I set the question for this stage as follows: How can Hanxu be embodied in an object? Hanxu is about giving hints but hidden. How can an object hide from its own feature and be less obvious? I designed a series of experiments to explore this question. I choose taiji as the subject which is the symbol of yin and yang. This symbol is a well recognised symbol in both Asia and western world. So in that sense the symbol is quite obvious and direct. So

It’s so hot today. I had to walk for almost half an hour to come here.

Hanxu way

how can I make it more indirect? EXP Chinese whisper This experiment tends to understand people’s interpretation. And how that interpretation will help to gradually change and twist the original subject to make it less obvious.

losophy more tangible. But the limitation comes from the material at the same time. In order to transform hanxu to a higher level, I need to explore a bit more intangible side of the object, which is the communication. The interaction happens between the user and the object.

In the experiment, a taiji symbol is draw on the paper. Each participant was asked to draw a symbol similar to the previous one, but they will only see what the previous one’s drawing. The paper is passed to the next one when he or she finished the drawing.

After a brain storm I decide to use a music player to illustrate my process. Because it has the right level of complexity- it is not as complicated as a mobile phone which has too many layer of interactions, but it has both material (tangibility) and interaction (intangibility) at the same time.

The insight from this experiment is that people have their own interpretation. And even just small changes will make the result dramatically differ from the original one.

In order to make the outcome of the experiment have more design potential, I did a quick survey to ask people about how they use their music player and tried to get some insight from the survey.

EXP 2D taiji symbol In this experiment I tried different ways to manipulate the pattern to keep it recognisable but less obvious.

Because of the timescale, I simplified and categorize the interactions between the user and music player into three categories which are as follows:

For color, by changing hue and contrast or the combination of colors which are used on the taiji symbol, the symbol became either easier or more difficult to recognise.

choose the music to play control the music playing ”like” button

For tactile, I use different texture to hint the difference of the symbol to make it less obvious. EXP 3D taiji symbol In this experiment, I gave a 2D pattern 3D shape, allowing manipulation on an extra dimention and giving it more features to hide the symbol from people’s perception. These experiments helped me to start the exploring of a low level of how to embody hanxu into a pattern. It is the first steps for me to make the intangible phi-

I designed different sets of experiments to explore each feature separately to get a deeper understanding and to illustrate the process better.

Choose the music How can the user to tell the music player what kind of music he or she want to listen to indirectly? I took a look into Chinese poetry and seen how hanxu is used as a literature method to describe sound and music. In this literature context, hanxu is usually referred to as

“It sounds like willow-catkin”

“tong gan”, which translates to Synaesthesia in English. (ie I can smell the music in the air.) In English, the word Synaesthesia refers to a neurologically-based condition where the person could not separate different sensations. In Chinese literature, the context is about playing with different senses of the human body by deliberately using a word usually matched with certain feeling to match with a different sense. The example ‘smell the music’ could deliver this totally new experience to the audience who can not physically experience it but only imagine it. For example, to describe a sound which uses the sense of hearing, instead of describing hearing experience directly, the poet will describe other input such as visual or tactile feeling. ie color or shape or texture. This way, when the reader reads the poem, tong gan will enhance the experience by opening the door of imagination and unexpectedness to enrich his or her emotional reaction. As mentioned before, in Chinese literature, for a master piece, the audience should read between lines and get beyond the lines.

“smell the music“

For example, in this following poem, “细芦僧管夜沉沉，越鸟巴猿寄恨吟。吹到耳边声尽处，一条丝断碧云心。”12 The poet describe the sound as a thin string, to express the music’s high pitch and acting as if a thin string is pulling the heart. The poet use the shape of a string as a metaphor for the music. In another example: “浮云柳絮无根蒂，天地阔远随风扬。”213 The music is described as cloud and willow-catkin. Here again, the poet use the cloud’s color and texture to describe the music’s texture indirectly. From the examples, I chosen some parameters as the media to describe the music indirectly. And use the experiments to try to find what can be the best link to describe music in a hanxu way. EXP describe the music The parameters are color, texture, pattern, shape, and hand gestures. In these set of experiments, I chose 10 very different music tracks and ask people while listening to them pick up a color; draw a pattern, make a shape with paper and clay, use hand movement to describe the music and tell me why they chose specific result to link to what aspect to the music.

Insight from the experiment: Pattern Music has rhythm and rhythm is a pattern. So a pattern can describe the music precisely. However the problem of this is that to reverse this which is drawing a pattern to describe a kind of music. Because every one has his or her own opinion about what kind of pattern relates to what kind of music, there is no similarity. And also, it is easy to use pattern to describe one specific song, but it is difficult to describe a kind of music. Again, everyone has their own way to link the pattern with music. However if the pattern has reference, and similarity then it might be possible to use to control the musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rhythm. Because from the experiment, people will describe the rhythm of the music with pattern. Shape People enjoy making shapes according to the music. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relaxing and fun. And the shape can represent a kind of music not only one track. For example a ball shape could represent a soft music while a star shape could represent a more intense one. Imagine a soft music picker, every time you change its shape, it choose the music accordingly. But the problem is still quite tricky. This concept needs more research to find out the relationship between music and specific shape to make the link making sense. And also the technology is really difficult to be achieved in the time scale. But I want to integrate the playful and physical interaction between the media and the user, so the selecting process would be fun and playful. Color Color is the most successful one among all the media. It is simple and easy to link with the music. And people share the similar way of associating a certain color with certain music category.

Hand movement People also have similar ways of associating music with hand gesures based on the beat of the music. But people from the survey are saying that they they need to use their hand, while listening to the music like sketching and making, so it would be not appropriate to ask people every time to move their hand while their hands are occupied to select some music. From the insights of these experiments, I selected the best and try to reverse engineering them. And try to find the right technology to enable the music player to capture visual information. I used a color sensor and Max/Msp to build up a test rig for capturing a color and select a music accordingly. A music data base was also built to simulate the music player. For pattern recognition, after trying different software librarier, the opencv library worked the best. Both the code of opencv and color detection are from online opensource communities, modified and used under open source license.

Control the music The poet uses nature as the media to describe certain things in order to express his feeling. These things are not randomly picked. On the contrary, each object and nature element has its meaning and role to play. It shares some similar feature with the object or emotion that the poet want to express. In this stage, I wanted to find an element from the environment which has the strongest link with the volume of the music. Or it could be the indirect media to control the music’s volume. The media I choose are temperature, ambient light, and wind. For each one I made a working prototype with Arduino and Max Msp and asked people to try them out and get the feed back from the test. Temperature In the experiment, a temperature sensor were connected to a computer, and subjects were asked to use temperature as a media to control the volume of the music. People did interesting things with it. They used a cup of hot tea to turn the volume up, or they use some ice in a cup to “freeze” the volume. Or they try to blow to cool it down to turn the volume down. The only issue with the temperature is that the sensor need time to sense and adjust to the environment, so there is always a delay between the input and output. Ambient light In the experiment, a light sensor were connected to computer, and subjects were asked to use the sensor to control the volume of the music. The light is the most successful media among all the elements. From the feedback, the light has the strongest link with volume, because they share similar features. So it makes sense to use one to control the other. Also there is no delay between the input and output. The effect is immediate.

Air In the experiment, a microphone were connected to a computer, and subjects were asked to use the microphone as a media to control the volume of the music. The interaction and gesture is interesting for people. They can blow into the microphone, talk or sing or tap on the microphone. But the link is vague and people get confused about how to use the wind to control the volume. As mentioned before, in this set of experiments, the purpose was to find the best media as an indirect way to control the volume of the music. I tested out temperature, light and wind, and the light made the most sense to people. It performed well in terms of effectively implementing its intended functionality with the input from the user.

like or not Hanxu is the art of language, a communication skill. During a conversation, to understand between the lines, people need to understand literature method such as metaphore. More often, because of the subtlety and indirectness, people need to understand none verbal communication language such as hand gestures and facial expression. And that’s why during a conversation, both sides have to have the skill to observe and absorb all different information from each other to act back accordingly. I want to embody this feature of hanxu into communicating to the music player whether you like the music or not. In these sets of experiment, I picked up three elements,

which are hand gesture, facial expression and body movement.

ing from the non verbal language from the user to understand how much he or she likes the music.

Hand gesture In this experiment, people were asked to use clay to make their ideal music player and use hand gestures to tell the player that they like or don’t like the music. People have all different way to “click the like button” with hand gesture. I realised this approach doesn’t fit into the hanxu philosophy- the interaction is quite straight forward and obvious. From the user, it’s a passive and direct communicating process. So I chose a less passive way to communicate, using the facial expressions.

Body movement In order to provide full functionality as a music player, the effective input from the user needs to be provided consistently to ensure the users body movements can be captured and clearly understood by the player.

Facial expression In this experiment, people were asked to listen to different musics, while their facial expression were recorded.

Body movement -hand Capturing hand gestures is the easiest way to get the effective input. Hands move a lot. But the problem is as the result from the survey, the hand are often occupied when people listen to music. Therefore in practise,the data input from hand gestures is simply not practical as the hands are usually occupied when people are listening to the music.

From the music player point of view, this observing of non verbal language fits much better to hanxu. However, from the experiment I realise that it’s difficult to realise, because there will have to have a camera which point to the user to capture the expression and the player will have to anylise the face in real time. How could the camera be installed in a way that it ensures the successful capturing of facial expressions all the time? However, from the observation I realise, when people really enjoy the music, especially music with sting beat, they tend to move their body with the rhythm. And that’s even more subtle from the user point of view. Most people’s don’t really notice they are moving their body until I point it out. If the body movement can be captured by the music player as an indicator to tell how much the user enjoys the music, it will fit perfectly with hanxu. From the music player point of view, it is observing and learn-

In the experiments, I attached a accelerometer to people’s head, hand and foot and try to find the best solution. There are two main criteria for the decision making. One is that it should fit into design phylosophy, second, it should be technologically possible.

Body movement -foot From the experiment, people who used to play instruments tend to use their feet more than other people. The problem for foot is that if the data comes from the foot, an extra piece will need to attached to the feet. It would be too much to ask a user to change his or her behaviour in order to use the music player. Body movement -head The head appears to be the most appropriate place to attach the sensor. From the observation of the experiment, it suggests that the only attached to the right place of the head, the music player could distinguish the “beat” from head and random movements from other part of the body.

Final experiment prototype

Final Experiment From the insight from previous experiments I integrated all the selected feature and designed an experimental music player with a headset.

e media to give the hint ing as th rround u s e s u

The user will use his or her surroundings as the media to communicate to the music player in a hanxu way. Buy picking up color and patters from the environment, the user give hints to the music player what mode he or she is in and the music player will interpret and play the kind of music accordingly. Use the strength of ambient light as a metaphor to volume, the user will change the light as a hint to adjust the volume.

e uag lang ody b e l subt rning and lea observing

The music player will observe and learn from the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s non verbal body language, which is the rhythm of the head movement to understand if the user like the music or not. So next time when the player is plugged into the computer, it can recommend similar music to the user. The music player will grow with the user, the more it is used, the more it will understand its user.

conclusion From this experimental project, I have following conclusions: The underdevelopment of creative industry in China is caused by varieties of factors from complex aspects such as historical, political, cultural and social. By delivering the cultural uniqueness into design process, Chinese manufactures could bring some degree of change to consumers’ perception of Chinese products. In-depth understanding of designers’ own culture along with the unique perception of their own social and economic political circumstances would bring the design activity to a new level as it would transform the culture and traditions more fundamentally and it would also stimulate innovation and result more exciting outcomes. The outcome of my project is an experimental music player which embody hanxu. Hanxu reveals in the subtlety and indirect communication between the user and the player. The goal of this project is not making the difference between a Chinese music player and a western player from ascetic point of view. If so, the easiest way would be to use traditional symbols and colors, as illustrated with a wedding candle (see report phase1) And the result would be much plain and straightforward. Nevertheless, the project emphasizes on how to embody a unique philosophical cultural concept into design outcome. Further work should be undertake to develop the music player’s physical form.Therefore, the music player will be more complete in both aesthetic and functionality.
