Abstract

This study focuses on integrating traditional symbols and modern product design, exploring how to achieve innovative design while maintaining cultural heritage. The article first analyzes the significance and value of traditional symbols as well as the characteristics and requirements of modern product design. Subsequently, the integration of traditional symbols and modern product design was explored, including the introduction and integration of traditional symbol elements, the reinterpretation and innovative design of traditional symbols, and the combination of traditional symbols and modern technology. Finally, from the perspective of cultural inheritance and innovation, strategies for the integration of traditional symbols and modern product design were proposed, including strengthening the mutual integration of traditional symbols and modern product design, enhancing the innovative ability of traditional symbols, expanding the application fields of traditional symbols, and strengthening the cultivation of talents for traditional symbols and modern product design.
