Taoism is the only local religion in China, whose aesthetic philosophy takes up an important part in Chinese traditional aesthetic philosophy. In Taoism, cyan has been given a very special meaning, carrying Taoism’s core idea. Along the revolution of history, its aesthetic value has been influenced by the aesthetic ideas of the ancients. Thus, from the perspective of traditional culture, the particularity and representativeness of cyan make it valuable to be further explored in the field of modern fashion design.
The thesis suggests that perceptual impulses be supplemented by rational usage and the constant spiritual core be discovered under the versatile surface of design. Thus, it urges the emergence of new meaning and applications of cyan under globalization.
