Inheritance design and application of Hainan Li brocade humanoid pattern based on GRA model.

To better inherit and develop the ethnic culture of humanoid patterns on the brocades woven by Li people in Hainan province as well as to stimulate innovation in designing such patterns, representative samples of humanoid patterns were studied from five major branches of the Li ethnic group in Hainan in this paper. Grey Relation Analysis (GRA) model was employed to explore the relationship between humanoid patterns and design factors. First, representative pattern samples were chosen by analyzing user perception images, by applying shape grammar to these samples, design factors were extracted, changed and derived to produce three models of unit design, unit evolutionary design and generative design. Then, proper indicators were selected by means of questionnaires and Likert scales. Finally, the GRA model was used to analyze the relationship between patterns and design factors. In this way, a number of design factors were obtained that not only reserve the cultural connotation of these patterns but also meet modern aesthetic needs. These design factors are applied to appropriate clothing and adornments, verifying the feasibility of the above method. The feasibility of this method is verified by applying design factors to suitable clothing products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
