First, the understanding and design ideas of the binding of classical literature books
The binding design of classical literature books needs to understand and refine the content of binding books. Although the thread-bound books in China's classical books look simple and casual, they are not casual, but have been carefully thought and designed, and they all contain profound cultural charm from color tone to material application. Modern binding design can achieve this effect because of the application of new technology and new materials. So, how can the binding design of classical books achieve this taste now? Pursuing classicism blindly will make the whole design lack modern aesthetic taste; The blind pursuit of modernity will make the binding of classical literature books lack the "charm" of classical literature, and will also deviate from the modern people's demand for the aesthetic feeling of binding of classical literature works. Today, when designing the book binding design of classical literature, we should fully absorb the essence of book binding design at home and abroad, so as to organically integrate the profound charm of China classical literature with modern aesthetic requirements. In the overall design, it not only retains the connotation and artistic conception of China's classical literary works, but also integrates modern people's aesthetic requirements for book binding. The unification of ancient and modern aesthetic binding methods is the need of contemporary China classical literature book binding design.
Since the emergence of human civilization, books, as a communication tool of mass media, have played an increasingly important role. Mankind has accumulated rich experience and wisdom in long-term practice, from the earliest unforgettable bamboo slips to modern printing technology and book binding, forming a special subject. A country's book binding level, the number of book varieties and the size of publishing circulation have become a sign to measure social progress and development. Book binding has gone through a long and tortuous road. With the development and progress of human civilization, from simple to complex, from simple book processing to today's artistic creation. Now, book binding is not only the binding of pages, but the second artistic creation of books by the binding designer, which is the crystallization of the thinking and wisdom of the binding artist. Today, book binding design has become a comprehensive art category, which is a comprehensive application of painting, photography, calligraphy, epigraphy and other art forms. It requires designers to have knowledge of literature, art, philosophy, history, science and technology, and have high literary accomplishment and good aesthetic taste. In today's highly developed market economy, book binding design should be commercialized. Books placed on the bookshelf should not only have the function of attracting readers, but also have the function of exhibition. Therefore, while having appreciation value, readers should be encouraged to study.
