What it does
It is a Chinese traditional puzzle game toy tangram is through a number of different shapes of wood or cardboard in different forms of arrangement and combination, thus to create a variety of things image, composed of characters, plants, etc.
Your inspiration
The inspiration comes from the "Seven sages in the Bamboo Forest" murals collected in the Nanjing Museum. The seven sages include Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Liu Ling, Wang Rong, Ruan Xian, Xiang Xiu, and Shan Tao. They often drink, sing, and enjoy themselves under the bamboo forest in Shanyang County at that time.
How it works
With the increasing demand of consumers for cultural and creative products, traditional intellectual games are gradually attracting the attention and pursuit of the market. As traditional intellectual games, Tangrams, jigsaw puzzles, Huarong Dao and other cultural and creative products have profound cultural heritage and broad audience base. On this basis, we integrate the content of "Seven Sages in Bamboo Forest" in Nanjing Museum for creation, and integrate the seven sages into the design. In the process of using the product, people will also be interested in the Seven Sages so as to understand the deeper cultural level. We integrate different roles into different products and copy the mural of "Seven Sages in Bamboo Forest" for modeling and rendering into the product to make the product more eye-catching and have its own characteristics.
Design process
First, we learned about all the historical relics in Nanjing Museum through field investigation, classified and selected the relics, extracted the murals of "Seven sages in Bamboo Forest", deeply understood their background and research value, and finally determined the transformation plan of traditional educational toys through market research of educational toys. The prototypes of our toys are traditional educational toys Tangram, Huarong Road and jigsaw Puzzle. The brick material of the mural is put into the design, and the re-carving of the portraits of seven sages in the bamboo forest is integrated into the product. Our products are transformed based on these elements such as tangram, Huarong Road and jigsaw puzzle. The overall series of products takes black as the main body while embellishing some gold, black represents the depth and gold is the symbol of light and honor. Simultaneously convey the depth of this series of products.
How it is different
Change the traditional puzzle we make it into a puzzle that can be inserted magnetic, change the appearance of the existing puzzle players can be more convenient to take the puzzle is not easy to lose, and the completed puzzle can be used as a pendant as an ornament. Tangram in the original appearance of the base into detachable and assembled, you can play two ways, tangram can also be used as a decoration. Huarong Road adds seven sages elements, diversified gameplay, the texture of the appearance of the whole series of products is similar to the texture of the stone wall of the Seven sages mural, compared with other similar products, our series of products have more collection value, better quality, the material used is different from the traditional wood material and more durable. To this shell material we added "Denatonium Benzoate", also known as "bitter essence" to avoid children swallowing it by mistake.
Future plans
In the future plan, we will expand our series of products, and use the products as a blind box series to create different kinds of educational products tailored to the seven sages as prototypes and their own styles. Some of the seven sages like drinking, some like Musical Instruments, some like to compose poems, etc., and update different series of ordinary blind boxes, luxury blind boxes and collection blind boxes with these styles. Cooperate with the museum to launch an exhibition, combining online and offline to publicize the spirit and historical value of the Seven sages.
