Images of Chinese Culture
In the article "Hot color and background trends for 2008" we started a
conversation about what is coming in 2008 in terms of design themes, colors,
and backgrounds. The 2008 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the
XXIX Olympiad, were awarded to Beijing. Interest in this global event
could spark a trend in:
-
Reds and yellows, traditional Chinese colors.
-
Chinese motifs that include the dragon, pine trees, tall jagged mountains and
birds such as the crane.
-
Floral motifs with peonies and chrysanthemums.
-
Chinese calligraphy.
Looking forward to this event we will begin to publish several new
"Chinese theme" selections of images.

Chinese Dragon
|
A five-toed Chinese dragon is the Imperial dragon,
a four-toed dragon is the protector of the commoner.
"The Celestial Chinese Dragon is comparable as the symbol of the Chinese race
itself. Chinese around the world, proudly proclaim themselves "Lung Tik Chuan
Ren" (Descendents of the Dragon). Dragons are referred to as the divine
mythical creature that brings with it ultimate abundance, prosperity and good
fortune. The Chinese Dragon, or Lung , symbolizes power and excellence,
valiancy and boldness, heroism and perseverance, nobility and divinity, that¡¯s
why in most Mandarin garment making appears so frequently the dragon motives."
