    The night garden provides a place for the urban public to relax and entertain at night. As an important part of the night garden, aromatic plants play a positive role in the development of human physical and mental health. By tracing the origin of night garden, it is found that aromatic plants have been used for landscaping at home and abroad since ancient times, and the research on night garden has been carried out earlier in foreign countries. At present, the planning and design of night garden mostly considers the combination of bright color aromatic vegetation and landscape elements, and there are few studies on the combination and configuration of aromatic plants. The research on the health benefits of night gardens to the human body mainly considers the impact of single aromatic plant volatiles at night on the human body, and lacks discussion on the combination of aromatic plants. In summary, it is of great significance to consider the differences or synergies between the combined configuration of aromatic plants and the efficacy of single aromatic plants on human health effects, as well as the public 's preference for the configuration of aromatic plants, so as to provide reference for the planning and design of night garden.

    The ancient poetry condensed by the rural landscape and the poet's spirit is the aesthetic symbol of the living environment of Jiangnan water village. With the integrated and modernized construction of the Yangtze River Delta megacity cluster, the poetic charm of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River is gradually fading away. Based on the thought system of environmental aesthetics in ancient China, this study analyzes the aesthetic characteristics of "naturalness" and "artificiality" in the ancient poems of South China. And conduct an aesthetic preference analysis of the image elements of "environment - human settlement" in the water towns of Jiangnan in ancient poetry texts. The results show that environmental elements such as mountains and forests, rivers, the sun and the moon, flowers and trees, together with human settlement elements such as villages and farmlands, constitute poetic scenes such as the "mountain-water pattern", "river village settlements" and "rural farming" of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Finally, on the basis of this, the author puts forward the poetic expression path of "environment-human settlement" from three aspects: landscape painting, flower and wood scene and pastoral interest, which provides guidance for the protection of landscape image of Jiangnan and the scene construction of poetic dwelling.

    Folk artifact art is an important engine for the development of rural cultural industries, and promoting the revitalization of folk artifact art is an important way to stimulate the endogenous power of the countryside. Folk artifact art is a product of traditional Chinese culture, which embodies the aesthetics of "things for the people", the ecological view of "harmony and coexistence", the artistic view of "integration into life", the value of "making things for the people" and the value of seeking truth from facts, The values of "making things for the people" and the value of seeking truth from facts. With the development of skills, social organization, aesthetic appreciation and innovation, the folk artifact art of artifacts has gone from rough to refined, from single to diversified categories, from experimental to professional, and towards diversified operation, shared transformation and digital survival. At present, if we want folk artifact art to achieve innovative development under the strategy of rural revitalization, we should improve the transformation mode of creative design, the development mode of rural cultural industry and the cultivation mode of innovative talents in terms of folk artifact art ideas, folk art culture and folk art experience, in order to give a strong impetus to folk artifact art for rural revitalization.

    The shift from spiritual utility to life utility to a new type of hybrid design is an inevitable part of historical advancement.The interaction between people and the environment can be experienced more deeply through multiple designs such as toys, handmade items, and modeling, and the power of life is intertwined and resonated in the flexible and changing world of design.The image based on power and emotion is a design expression oriented to real meaning.Human's own experience and emotion inspire the possible conception from the reality of life, moving from the design of feeling to the vision of image and spirit, grasping the natural and unnatural in design, understanding the relationship between image and emotion, material and design, focusing on the originality, imagination and inclusiveness of design, and uniting life and emotion, history and art.The interactive connection between image, designer and viewer is realized in strengthening the rituals of life and expression of experience, exploring the latent mythological content and visual forms of traditional decoratives, expanding the living space and fairy tale world of cultural design, and releasing the artistic tension of the decorative archetypes in the modern society through the intertwining of design based on multiple emotions.

    The dragon and phoenix pattern on the Chaoshan Drawnwork handkerchief is the result of the exchange and fusion of Chinese and Western decorative patterns since the nineteenth century, as well as a medium that reflects the shift in aesthetic philosophy in the Chaoshan region at that time. By classifying and comparing the physical materials of white silk handkerchiefs collected by the people of the Chaoshan region, it is evident that the dragon and phoenix pattern represents the Chaoshan people's perception of the existence of life and the beauty of life in time and space, and is a projection of spiritual time and space. Utilizing the Chinese philosophical mode of thought, we examine the uniqueness of the dragon and phoenix themes from three perspectives: "gathering, " "sense, " and "permanence." We examine their singularity, inner "yin" and "yang" relationship, and the objective "harmony" and "life" rules that govern them. We will offer a fresh viewpoint on the aesthetic examination of traditional Chinese crafts.

    Against the backdrop of globalization and mutual learning among civilizations, this paper addresses the imbalance in civilizational exchanges and the deepening spiritual divides in the process of globalization by proposing and systematically elaborating the “Cultural Channel Theory.” First, through a critical reflection on the limitations of the diffusionist school in anthropology, and drawing inspiration from the H? proton pump mechanism in plant physiology, the paper validates the core hypothesis of Cultural Channel Theory using case studies such as the Sinicization of Buddhism, the localization of KFC, and the mutual influence of Chinese and Western gardens. The theory posits that “cultural channels” serve as carrier systems for the cross-civilizational flow of cultural elements, driving civilizational integration and innovation through a “selection-transformation-integration” mechanism, while also tracing the early construction of the theory. Second, the paper clarifies the core concepts of cultural channels, their three-layered structure (“material-institution-spirit”), and categorizes them into passive and active types, delving into the dynamic operational mechanism of “selection-transformation-integration” to establish the theoretical foundation. Next, it traces the historical evolution of cultural channels, from ancient regional channels centered on material carriers (e.g., the overland Silk Road, maritime Silk Road, and the East Asian Chinese-character cultural sphere) to modern global channels driven by industrial technology (e.g., colonial trade channels, missionary cultural channels, and student-exchange cultural channels). Then, focusing on the contemporary era, the paper analyzes the characteristics and value of three new forms of cultural channels under globalization and digitization: digital cultural channels, the “Belt and Road” cultural channels, and intangible cultural heritage (ICH) cultural channels. Finally, it elaborates on the epochal value of Cultural Channel Theory at three levels: theoretical (constructing a systematic framework for civilizational exchange), practical (providing actionable pathways for civilizational exchange), and global (offering cultural support for a community with a shared future for humanity). It also highlights that future cultural channel development must prioritize technological empowerment, equality and inclusivity, and shared human values to achieve the sustainable development of human civilization.

    Traditional village is an important product of China's farming civilization, and its historical value is extremely important. The protection of its rural cultural landscape has important practical significance and far-reaching historical significance in building a beautiful China, implementing rural revitalization and inheriting traditional culture. In this paper, art intervention, a common means of village revitalization, is guided by scene theory and combined with case study methods to investigate the strategies and effects of art intervention in traditional village paths. The research shows that the involvement of art in the scene construction of traditional villages not only helps to stimulate the cultural vitality of villages and enhance local characteristics, but also promotes the participation of communities in economic development. The artistic action of scene in traditional villages also provides valuable case resources for the localization of scene theory.

    The Jiangxia Husi kilns in the Song Dynasty, as a large-scale and technologically distinctive folk porcelain kiln system in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, their porcelain-making techniques and modeling art are not only the crystallization of material production, but also carry the deep connotations of Jingchu regional culture and ceramic aesthetics during the Two Song Dynasties. Based on archaeological data, combined with historical documents and relevant research results, this paper systematically deconstructs the complete technological chain from raw material mining to finished product firing, and deeply analyzes the formal language and cultural genes of utensil modeling. Studies have shown that the ancient porcelain-making craftsmanship of the Husihu Kiln, which mainly used dragon kilns as its firing equipment, achieved an innovative balance between production efficiency and the expression of craftsmanship quality. The styling systems of blue-and-white porcelain and celadon not only met the daily needs of the people but also embodied the artistic genes of Jingchu culture, providing important material evidence for the study of ceramic history in the Song Dynasty.

    Through multiple field investigations and research in Sangyuanpu Village, Lishui District, this study reveals that the elderly and children constitute one-third of the village's total population. The mass migration of young laborers has led to idle resources, resulting in dual economic and educational stagnation. Extensive literature review uncovers that Sangyuanpu Village traces its origins to the Southern Song Dynasty. However, current architectural disorganization and inconsistent landscape presentation have marginalized its cultural value, causing the gradual disappearance of distinctive cultural features. Against the backdrop of rural revitalization strategies, this paper re-examines Sangyuanpu Village's cultural heritage and proposes a spatial planning and design solution for its cultural district.

    This paper takes the 3rd “Model of Small Town Aesthetics” released at the 6th Anren Forum in Anren Ancient Town, Chengdu in October 2021 as the research object. Firstly, it introduces the background, establishment time, initiators, purposes and influence of the “Model of Small Town Aesthetics” collection and release activity. Founded in 2019, this activity is jointly initiated by the China Cultural Promotion Association and other parties in response to the rural revitalization strategy, and has produced 20 aesthetic models. With the theme of “Beauty for Common Prosperity”, the 3rd session has attracted wide attention from the public.Next, the paper elaborates on the selection process of the 3rd session, including the number of collected cases, the selection procedure, the core indicators, as well as the characteristics, details and evaluations of 10 award-winning small towns (such as Nanling New Village in Henan Province and Chuanjiang Town in Sichuan Province), demonstrating their construction achievements in ecology, culture, industry and other aspects. At the same time, it mentions that the activity has carried out publicity in collaboration with social media platforms and compares the theme and concept of the 2nd session.Furthermore, the paper analyzes the achievements and problems in the current transformation of rural towns, points out the problems such as industrialized transformation and cultural displacement in some areas and their causes, and introduces the evaluation system of the “Model of Small Town Aesthetics” selection. It clarifies the weight and specific indicators from four major sectors: culture, planning, industry and media, and emphasizes the aesthetic concepts of “small yet beautiful” and “integration of three aspects (life, ecology and production)”.Finally, the paper proposes that rural areas should realize the transformation from “beautiful villages” and “pleasant villages” to “aesthetic villages”, focus on cultural preservation and modernization, and contribute to the construction of “Aesthetic China”.

    In China, undergraduate and graduate programs explicitly titled "Interior Design" are relatively limited. In contrast, the Interior Design program at Pratt Institute has consistently maintained a leading position both in the United States and globally. This paper examines the two-year graduate curriculum at Pratt, combining the author’s firsthand experience with the graduation project to systematically analyze its course structure. Unlike pure art, design navigates the balance between form and function while reflecting the designer’s engagement with contemporary issues. The study reveals that Pratt employs a project-based, student-centered teaching model, emphasizing the development of logical and individualized design thinking. By integrating practical skills into project-based learning, the program effectively achieves its educational objective of "learning by doing."

    Based on the Shanghai Declaration on Rural Design (released in September 2024) and the Dingshan Declaration on Rural Design (released in October 2020), this paper systematically explores the definition, necessity of construction and practical paths of rural design studies with Chinese characteristics. The paper points out that rural areas have the characteristics of integrity and complexity; even around international metropolises, high-quality rural environments remain scarce resources. Promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas requires the holistic design of all elements and interactive design between urban and rural areas. Currently, the design system serving cities is relatively complete, while rural design faces problems such as disconnected theories, confused thinking and lack of talents. Therefore, it is urgent to construct rural design studies centered on agricultural industry and farming culture and emphasizing urban-rural integration. In terms of construction paths, it is necessary to strengthen theoretical research to form an interdisciplinary theoretical system, build a rural design education system to cultivate professional talents who "love rural areas, understand farmers and master agriculture", establish industry associations, formulate laws, regulations and standard systems, and set up a registered rural designer system to provide institutional guarantees. Meanwhile, practical innovation should be promoted through pilot demonstration projects, and the main role of farmers should be fully exerted. This paper aims to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for rural revitalization and promote in-depth integration and shared development between urban and rural areas.

    This paper interprets the cultural spirit of Zhou Wuzhong's "On the Five-Star Sacred Lotus". As the 29th-generation descendant of Zhou Dunyi, Zhou Wuzhong wrote this article imitating the style of "On the Love of Lotus", shaping the "Tai-chi Lotus" into a cultural carrier. The article first describes the form of the sacred lotus, such as "straight stems, green leaves, bright flowers and fresh fragrance", highlighting its "difference from other flowers"; then explains the connotation of "sacred", pointing out that it inherits Zhou Dunyi's gentlemanly tenet of "growing out of mud without being stained", conforms to the five-element theory in "Taiji Diagram Explanation", traces the old traces of "Five-Star Mound" and inherits the cultural context of 29 generations; finally elevates the meaning, stating that the sacred lotus is "not only a gentleman, but also a carrier of cultural context", and calls on viewers to think about its origin. Its core cultural spirit is adhering to the gentleman culture, respecting the historical roots and consciously continuing the cultural context.
