Abstract
The traditional mechanical products have been considered to be structured products all the time. The concept of “priority to function” dominates the design philosophy in the long term, but it unilaterally stresses “technique” and “performance” of the “product” but overlooks “emotion” and “care” of “human”, thus making the relationship between “human” and “product” “disharmonious” and violating the original intention of human for creation. Then this requires us to think deeply. In the aspect of things perception in China, starting from characters invention by Cang Jie, there were cultural heritages being good at abstraction including “intuitive realization”, “sudden enlightenment” and “empathizing and understanding” since ancient times. The six methods of character creation reflect the “intuitive semantics” or the information referred to as “intuitive semiology” formed very early in Chinese culture. The theoretical achievements of domestic and overseas mechanical product design are presented and analyzed firstly in this essay; and then starting with the study on Chinese traditional creation culture and practical activities, the orient traditional creation wisdom that contains substantial thinking and elements related to “intuitive semantics” will be researched; finally, the “intuitive semantics” will be infused into design of modern mechanical products to think and study and survey the relationship between human emotion and technical principles, thus perfecting the innovation theory of modern mechanical product design.
