About New Year Gift Kahon ng Regalo para sa Bagong Taon

Ang New Year Gift ay isang kahon ng regalo na ginawa para sa mga user ng isang Chinese input method application. Ang panlabas na lalagyan ay isang basket na yari sa tradisyonal na paraan ng paghabi ng manipis na tira ng kawayan, kaya't ang basket ay maaaring itago at muling gamitin matapos buksan. Ang bellyband ay maaaring tiklupin upang maging takip ng tigre para sa mga bata, na nagpapababa ng basura mula sa packaging. Sa loob ng kahon ay may kalendaryo at mga tradisyonal na plato ng pintura para sa Bagong Taon. Ang takip ng kalendaryo ay ginawa gamit ang sining ng Fengxiang woodblock printing. Ang set na ito ay nag-aanyaya sa mga pamilya na subukan ang mga sining na ito sa tahanan.

Production Technology: Bamboo basket, also the outer packing of the gift box, applies the traditional thin-thread bamboo weaving craft, demonstrating the sense of beauty of being warm and soft, and also usefulness. The cover of the calendar applies the Fengxiang New Year woodprints craft. After ten steps, from drafting to coloring, and then by rubbing on rice paper with corresponding tools, the traditional craft which has been on the wane can be perfectly presented.
Design Challenge: Take into full consideration the combination of traditional culture and daily life to design a gift box that is ideal for family interaction. In the process, the handmade part is full of challenges and requires times of tries if the best effect is expected.
Research: Paintings on the Spring Festival were mostly known as "paintings celebrating the Spring Festival" in ancient times. Bamboo baskets are often seen in such paintings. Since the Warring States Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties, hufu (a tiger-shaped tally issued to generals for troop movement) became popular. Given the awe-inspiring image of tigers, people in the late Qing Dynasty expected to protect children against demons with tiger, so tiger cap began to prevail.
Inspiration: Intangible cultural heritage is the carrier and crystallization of cultural development in China, but it is being weakened. On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, we dig deeper China's folk culture, and draw such intangible crafts as bamboo weaving, tiger cap, woodblock engraving, hand-painted New Year pictures before integrating them into the design of the New Year gift box in the hope of showing and reshaping the charms of traditional Chinese culture.
Project Duration: The project was launched in Beijing in November 2021, and the design was completed and product issued to users within the territory of China in January 2022.
Operation Flow: Steps of woodblock printing of the calendar are as follows: preparation, that is, put the woodblock evenly on the table and pour some ink into the porcelain dish; inking, that is, coat the surface of the woodblock with ink, put the woodblock still for 10 seconds before coating it with ink for a second time; printing, that is, cover the woodblock with the printing paper, press it with a wood mushroom (a wood mushroom-shaped tool), and then take the paper away.
