Definition of design: Design is an artistic creation activity purposefully carried out by designers. Design is a kind of work or occupation, and it is a modeling activity with aesthetic feeling, use and commemorative function. The word "design" is translated from Chinese characters in Japanese. When translating the word "design" in Japanese, besides the word "design", Chinese characters such as "design", "pattern", "composition" and "shaping" are also used to express "design". So when we understand what "design" is, we can explain these words first:

English design comes from Latin de-sinare, which means "making marks". /kloc-in the 6th century, the Italian word desegno began to have the meaning of today's design, and then it was quoted by English through the intermediary of French, which became the design in today's English. In English, design includes: a. Design and planning.

B. Draw a sketch and gradually complete a beautiful design or work.

C. appointment and cooperation for a certain purpose.

D. planning and planning.

E. intention.

F use stamp icon to express and confirm events.

By analogy, items A and B are the closest to what the design community calls design. In Japanese, the word "craftsman" in Chinese characters means "idea processing", and it is considered that design work is the work of idea processing. "pattern" is relative to "copying", which means: explain in words; Mode means: give an example. In other words, drawing is enough to explain how the work is done, and then it refers to expressive graphic production.

In Chinese, "design" means "artificially set, first calculated, and estimated to be achieved". This definition is actually another word that is more commonly used in Chinese: "architecture", which is also called "building" or "building a house" in Japanese. The word "architecture" in Chinese has been translated from Japanese into Chinese characters and returned to Chinese as a daily language. Just as the word "design" comes from the Chinese translation of the word "design" in Japanese, it has returned to Chinese as a daily language.

However, from the perspective of the development of western design, before the rise of modern design, design was not only equal to architecture, but also equal to art. Especially in the process of western art history and the education of the Royal Academy of Art, from the Renaissance, architectural expertise was gradually formed, combined with the inheritance of painting expertise and sculpture expertise, which were collectively called plastic arts and design.

From this point of view, it is easier for us to understand the definition and explanation of "design is a shaping activity or architectural activity with aesthetic feeling, use and memorial function"

But no matter how to distinguish, whether it is pure art, handicraft, architecture or design, it must meet the conditions of "aesthetic experience, use function and commemorative function".
