“…Moreover, such objects can foster wider interest in cultures which may be losing the fight against the transforming forces and pressures of societal evolution toward a secular rather than a spiritual society (Varutti 2015). Too many cultural items -material manifestations of the culture and examples by which it may be studied -have been lost or left their homes into museums and private collections.…”

“…Hence, cultural products can extend the heritage and traditional values of different cultures to the consumer and increase the sense of spiritual essence in human life (Varutti 2015;Guttentag 2009). Designers need to develop a better understanding of cultural ergonomics not just to participate in cultural contexts but also to develop interactive experiences for users.…”

“…The biggest characteristic of ICH is that it has never been divorced from the special production and life style of the nation, and it is the "living" carrier, "living" specimen, "living" memory of the nation's cultural symbols and aesthetic habits [2][3][4]. It relies on human beings and exists and develops around people's production and life [5,6], which is a continuous and everlasting "cultural chain". It is precisely because of this that its transmission is more fragile, accidental, and selective than the tangible cultural heritage, and the intergenerational chain of transmission is more easily broken [7,8].…”

Countries all over the world have been constantly exploring ways to rescue and protect intangible cultural heritage. While learning from other countries' protection measures, the Chinese government is also constantly exploring ways that conform to China's national conditions. As China's first batch of intangible cultural heritage, lacquer art boasts a brilliant history, but many people are not familiar with it today. Moreover, in the process of modernization, the lacquer art transmission is declining day by day, and it is facing unprecedented major crises such as loss and division of history into periods. Hence, it is essential to verify and reveal the challenges and dilemmas in the lacquer art transmission, and come up with corresponding protection measures around these problems. First of all, this research, through literature review, "horizontally" explores the current research status and the universal problems of lacquer art transmission from the macro level. With a view to make up for the deficiencies of the existing research and further supplement the empirical evidence, the current research, with the transmission of "Chengdu lacquer art" as an example and through in-depth interviews, tracks and investigates the whole process of transmission of Chengdu Lacquer Art Training Institute, and "vertically" analyzes the survival situation of lacquer art transmission and the core problems affecting transmission behaviors from the micro level. In the final conclusion, the research comes up with corresponding countermeasures and suggestions for the identified key problems, which is of significant reference value for facilitating the live transmission and sustainable development of Chinese lacquer art.

“…Cultural products can extend the heritage and traditional values of different cultures to the consumer and increase the sense of spiritual essence in human life (Varutti, 2015). Perhaps the best way to extend a unique culture, for example when we talk about the impressions of different culture garments, crafts, decorations, utensils, furniture, ornaments, packages, etc., is to promote it to users' daily lives through product usage (Lin, 2007(Lin, , 2009).…”

Womanise scripts (also called Nushu 女書) has been praised as one of the Chinese special and secret languages, and a kind of unique characters used by women only. Designing traditional culture into products will be a design trend in the global market. Based on the research of cultural and creative product design, this article analyzes Womanise scripts and artifacts from three aspects to explore new cultural product designs. Combined with the Scenario approach, this article will construct a framework for turning Cultural paradigm to Cultural product design. Taking the case of Chinese Womanise scripts, the conversion of cultural products is carried out to verify the value of the research framework. Therefore, a general framework is proposed for Womanise scripts to translate culture creative industrial design that applies to a culture product design and economic model. And through three products design to verify the effectiveness of the design transformation, these products can express emotional and secret communication. It can integrate tradition into modern life and promote emotional interaction. This has a great significance to the cultural creative industry design and economic model, such as historical and cultural heritage.
