About Gongche Sketch Book Interaktivna knjiga
Gongche Sketch Book je interaktivna knjiga o Gongče notaciji, tradicionalnom kineskom sistemu muzičke notacije. Knjiga predstavlja redizajnirani skup Gongče znakova, doteranih u pravcu poteza, debljini i veličini radi jasnoće. U strukturu knjige ugrađen je mehanizam muzičke kutije sa 30 tonova na ručni pogon. U mehanizam se umeće perforirana papirna traka koja odgovara notaciji, a okretanjem ručice proizvode se zapisani tonovi. Otvoreni žičani povez tvrdih korica otkriva rikliju i slojevite stranice. Dizajn omogućava čitaocima da proučavaju Gongče notaciju vizuelno, zvučno i dodirom.

- Production Technology
- When designing the binding, bare wire hardcover is a special binding method, and its handmade texture can also echo the content and cultural heritage of the book. In addition, the exposed form of the spine shows the layering of the pages, and coupled with the feeling of hand touch, the reader's body and mind can be compared to enjoying the rhythm of music.
- Design Challenge
- In the process of modern character drawing for Gongchipu, it is not only necessary to ensure the standardization and readability of the symbols, but also to integrate them with other musical notation forms and the metric Pu character system for easy understanding. When redesigning the musical notation symbols, attention was paid to the accurate expression, conciseness and ease of understanding of each character, while also making these characters visually impactful and recognizable. On the basis of retaining the characteristics of traditional Gongchi Pu notation, the We conducted in-depth research and optimization on glyph direction, stroke thickness, symbol size, etc., and then created a novel, beautiful, and easy-to-understand Gongchipu character system.
- Research

Through a comprehensive experience involving sight, hearing, and touch, it sparks interest in Gongche notation, infusing new vitality into cultural heritage. Friendly interaction makes learning easy and enjoyable.
- Project Duration
- The project will start in Nanjing in June 2022, be completed in Nanjing in May 2023, and will be exhibited in Nanjing in May 2023.
- Operation Flow
- The 30-note hand-cranked music box movement is used as the core mechanism and combined with the book structure. Its characteristic is that a paper tape with holes punched at the corresponding note position is loaded into the mechanical structure, and the hand rocker is shaken, and the punched paper tape passes through the sound comb to emit sounds. corresponding pitch. Using this principle, the musical notation of Gongchipu corresponds to the pitch hole position of the paper tape, so that after the reader has a preliminary understanding of the image and text, he can further insert the paper tape corresponding to Gongchipu into the movement. The interactive method further understands Gongchipu from the auditory dimension.
