Expanding reading: the influence of traditional artistic color on graphic design

First, the color system of traditional art

1. 1 Taoist five-color system

Taoism advocates indifference and inaction, which is a world view full of black and white. Laozi's teaching of keeping black and knowing white, and Taoism's idea of harmony but difference are all important manifestations. Taoism believes that the development and change of everything is the mutual evolution and alternation of nothing and something, and it is the two extremes of the development of things, which can be expressed in black and white. China's ink painting was deeply influenced by Taoism, pursuing simple and steady colors, using white rice paper and black ink, and gradually formed a unique realm of ink painting. Traditional art absorbs the Taoist concept of color and expresses the quiet atmosphere with simple and simple colors.

1.2 Confucian five-color world

Our country's philosophical thought, cultural spirit and traditional ideology are self-contained, which has a great influence on the cultivation of our people's color concept. Color, as an indispensable element in China traditional art, can show the concept of color in traditional art very accurately. During the period of silver merchants, Oracle Bone Inscriptions recorded characters in four colors: white, black, yellow and red, while Zhou Ji Dong Gong Kao Shu was the exact origin of the five colors. It mainly put forward the concept of five colors and described the combination of color and contrast, time view and space view. China's traditional five-color system has greatly influenced the development and progress of the concept of color in graphic arts. Combining with traditional Confucianism, the middle color represents modesty, and the positive color represents authority and dignity, and it has integrated the politics, military, economy, religion and color of China feudal society, showing strict procedures and norms in the use of color. At the same time, it established a particularly deep emotional foundation in the folk five-color system in China, which promoted the formation of folk color concepts.

Second, the application of traditional artistic colors in graphic design

2. 1 Color is a symbol of personality, quality and status.

The concept of five elements in ancient China had a far-reaching influence, and particularly strict norms and procedures were formulated for the use of colors. China has been called a descendant of the Chinese people since ancient times. The Yellow River is an important symbol of our country. In the five elements, yellow occupies a central position, representing the central government and the country, which is the noblest and also represents power and majesty. Yellow became the special color of royal emperors after Sui and Tang Dynasties. If civilians use yellow, they will be killed. In folk drama, the use of color has gradually become a conventional rule, while in traditional art, color has become a symbol of different sexes, such as boys and girls.

2.2 Color stylization and decorative application of traditional art in graphic design

The color relationship of China's traditional works of art is not random collocation, but a color matching experiment gradually accumulated through a long period of evolution. China is a nation that advocates red, and the collocation of black and red is quite long. Painted pottery in primitive society, lacquerware in Han Dynasty and folk New Year pictures all use red and black to form a strong visual impact. In modern chromatics, red and green are complementary colors. In ancient times, the combination of red and green was used to express tradition, and it could also form a very sharp contrast effect. As an important element of traditional art, color expresses emotion through the characteristics of idealization, stylization, regularity and order. The decorative color not only reflects the spiritual pursuit of artistic creators, but also reflects the influence of China's ancient philosophical thoughts and the aesthetic thoughts of the ancients. After historical evolution and development, quasi-decoration has gradually formed a certain law. In works of art, the decoration of traditional artistic colors is also the formalization and suitability of color relations.
