主旨释义/Interpretation
“知行合一”是王阳明心学的核心思想，主张知识与行动的统一，强调只有通过实践才能真正理解和实现所学的知识。本次大赛的主旨“知行共融，好创意传承”强调了传统思想与现代好创意设计的融合，希望参赛者能够通过设计作品展现出王阳明的哲学思想如何在当今社会中得以传承和应用。参赛者可从以下三个方面展开创作：
思想的可视化：如何通过视觉设计将王阳明的“知行合一”哲学表达出来？参赛者可以从历史人物故事、哲学概念、名言警句中汲取灵感，并通过创新的形式转化为视觉作品。
古与今的融合：参赛者可以思考如何将传统文化元素与现代设计手法相结合，展现阳明心学在当代生活中的意义和价值。例如，可以使用现代设计语言重新诠释古代符号、场景或人物形象。
实践中的创新：参赛者可以通过作品传达出个人对“知”与“行”的理解，尤其是如何通过行动来实践理念，并在实践中进行创新。
“The Unity of Knowledge and Action”is the core idea of Wang Yangming’s philosophy,emphasising that true comprehension of knowledge can only be achieved through action.A similar idea in design education and practice is known as“Learning by Doing.”The theme of this competition underscores the fusion of cultural heritage with modern innovations.It also encourages participants to showcase how Yangmingism can be inherited and applied in today’s society through product semantics,experimental documentaries,social media designs,etc.The following three directions are recommended for participants to start creation:
Visualisation of Philosophy:How can Wang Yangming’s philosophy of“the Unity of Knowledge and Action”be represented through graphic and product design?Participants can draw inspiration from historical figures,philosophical concepts,and famous articles from Wang Yangming and transform these ideas into visual works.
Fusion of Tradition and Modernity:Participants are encouraged to explore how traditional cultural elements can be integrated with modern technologies to showcase Wang Yangming’s philosophy in contemporary life.For example,modern design language/media can reinterpret/represent ancient symbols,scenes,or figures related to Yangmingism.
Innovation in Practice:Participants can reflect on their past design projects,which succeeded by following the approach of“Unity of Knowledge and Action.”This direction focuses more on demonstrating the design process,how ideas can be implemented iteratively,and how innovation is achieved through“Learning by Doing.”
