Renaissance. Chinese design in nine words

The description of cultural behavior or behavior-related ideology of human beings is one of the concepts of design. Based on the perspective design essence, human design behavior refers to the earliest conscious conduct (Li Yanzu, 2008). Therefore, designs can be considered as plans made by humans for forthcoming behaviors before or during the performance of actions to meet certain demands. This work was inspired by “ China in ten words ” which is about changes and perceptions of China's 60-year reform and uses nine key words to evaluate and discuss Chinese design. The nine key words include: intelligence, refinement, artisan, learning, fake, Jerry built, policy, Wangshuism, and Internet. These words are similar to nine pairs of eyes and nine latitudes for the examination, contemplation, and criticism of Chinese design from the ancient to the modern to the contemporary.
