Chaoshan, as a coastal area, has its own seafaring history and red-headed boat culture, which has profound historical and cultural connotations in Chaoshan; Chaoshan people have a special complex for red-headed boats.
Firstly, Ms. Wen Jing explained the design ideas and design process, then led the students to appreciate the classic cases and analyse them, and finally invited the students to go to the podium to explain and analyse their own design ideas and works, so that they can learn from each other. Wen Jing said that the integration of red culture into the red cultural and creative products and packaging design, the development of typical, storytelling, contemporary and educational red cultural and creative products, based on the form of public recognition and popularity, which meets the diversified and personalised needs of consumers, to create a red cultural brand, empower rural revitalisation through design, activate the market potential for consumption, and promote the development of the regional economy.
