應用六書的原理來激發產品構想發展的探討

Abstract

中國文字是一種形的文字，其文字的構造（造形）法則，根據東漢許慎在《說文解字》的整理和歸納，可分為象形、指事、會意、形聲、轉注、假借等六書。工業設計有很大部分也是在做造形的工作，在造形產生的方法上，會與文字的造字方法—六書有些共通之處。例如：常見的仿生造形與六書中的象形，其所使用的造形手法相似，而產品語意則和指事的手法相近，組合性的產品又和會意有同工之妙……等等。因此，本研究嘗試以工業設計的觀點重新詮釋六書，藉由文字構成的方法，整理出一套有系統的，可以激發更多產品造形構想的法則。本研究共分四個部分：第一部份先探討整理中國文字的起源、演進及六書的分類法則，並分析文字、設計和語言之間的關係。第二部份則是以設計的觀點重新詮釋六書，並從產品中找出一些可以作為對應的設計實例，將這些實例做有系統的分析和歸納。第三部份則是分別從六書當中，找出一些代表性的文字，將這些文字的構成做進一步的分析和探討。並就其文字構成的方法，推演出產品造形的法則，將這些法則整理如檢查表的形式，提供給設計師在開發產品構想時可以參考的工具。第四部份則是實際以一燈具設計為例，依據前面所歸納整理的檢查表，實際進行構想的展開，最後提出一些設計成果。

As shape-oriented characters, the formation of Chinese characters have been classified into six main categories according to the Six Formation Principles from their evolution. Since product design basically is a form developing task, too. It may apply the Six Formation Principles of Chinese characters in form development. On the other hand, we will examinate some existed product design to find out the similar rules to the Six Formation Principles been implemented in these design. This study contains four parts: First part is a brief review of the origin, evolution and the Six Formation Principles of Chinese characters. In the second part, with the design viewpoint, we examinate the Six Formation Principles, and find some product design as examples to examplify the applicability of these formation principles in product design. In the third part, from each of the Six Formation Principles of Chinese characters, we deeply analyze some characters on their origin, evolution and formation. Throuth these characters analysis, we can derive some design principles or some design thinking methods. These design principles and design thinking methods, are summaried as a checklist format. For designers, they can use this checklist as a guidline to development some design ideas. Finally, we applied this checklist to develop several designs as examples to demonstrate the applicability of these principles.
