Abstract

China has a history of more than 5000 years, in which our the Chinese nation has accumulated a rich cultural heritage. As one of the five ancient civilizations in the world, China has formed its own set of cultural system, and Chinese classical aesthetics is a bright pearl produced in this period. In fact, up to now, it is impossible to completely determine which dynasty the Chinese classical aesthetics originated from, but the formation and development of the Chinese classical aesthetics are inextricably linked with the Confucian thought of “benevolence and righteousness” in ancient China. Confucius, as the founder of Confucianism, believes that “benevolence” is a kind of virtue and morality. Only when people regard “benevolence and righteousness” as the basis of communication, can the communication between people and the whole society enter the realm of beauty. This paper mainly explains the shortcomings of China’s jewelry industry at present. Then, by studying the concrete manifestations of the three concepts of “simplicity”, “harmony” and “artistic state” in Chinese classical aesthetics, this paper explores the application of traditional Chinese aesthetic ideas about modern jewelry design technology, so as to improve the present situation of modern jewelry industry in our country and open up a road to jewelry development with national characteristics.
