Abstract

In view of the problems such as the single type of cultural derivative products of Linxia brick carving and the weak cultural attraction, we carried out the application research of Linxia brick carving culture by using shape grammar. Firstly, we collected and combed the materials of brick carving culture in Linxia by means of literature research and field investigation. Then, we determined the target product, analyzed the product form and emotional demand, construct the reference product form database, screen the brick carving pattern through the matching of the product emotional demand, obtained the characteristic lines of the brick carving pattern by the way of the type spectrum analysis, and established the typical form factor database of brick carving; Finally, taking some lines in the typical form factor database as the initial shape, we combined them with the lines in the reference product form database. According to the shape grammar deduction rules, the scheme was generated, the best scheme was selected and further refined. Studies have shown that the use of shape grammar for product design can enhance the cultural connotation of products, promote cultural heritage, and effectively guide the design of Linxia brick carving products.

Summary

Introduction

With the implementation and promotion of national policies such as the revitalization of traditional crafts, poverty alleviation policy on intangible cultural heritage, and cultural and creative strategy, China's cultural and creative industry has become increasingly powerfull [1], and has become an important pillar of national economic development. Cultural and creative products with traditional culture are widely favored by consumers. Culture injects inspiration into design, and design makes the spread of culture more dynamic. As the first batch of intangible cultural heritage of the country, experiences a long period of development, and shows a continuous vitality. While the ancient brick carving art blooms the bright Chinese civilization, its traditional production way, material, application space, practitioner loss, and thinking solidification brought by "hand-by-hand" technology inheritance, hinder the development of the brick carving industry. By opening the way of thinking, bringing forth the new, and developing more popular products, can we promote the brick carving art to go further. From the perspective of product diversification and cultural heritage, this study introduces shape grammar to innovate the design of brick carving products
