Abstract:
Literary masterpieces are historical heritages and the source of creative design.
Journey to the West, as one of the four famous masterpieces in China, has a high reputation at home and abroad. In the
Journey to the West, costume plays a crucial role in the creation of the characteristics of Tang Monk and his apprentices. Through the research on the literature, it is found that there are many serialized products based on the overall appearance of the Tang Monk and his apprentices among the existing cultural and creative products, and the applications in jewelry design are rare. It is rarely seen for jewelry works in the domestic or foreign market that uses the design method of morphological deduction to simplify the costume of Tang Monk and his apprentices in jewelry design. The authors first explained the important role of the costume of the characters in
Journey to the West, and then designed the jewelry based on the costume form and the personality characteristics of the Tang Monk and his apprentices. The design ideas and methods used are not only suitable for the jewelry design based on the
Journey to the West, but also applicable to other cultural and creative jewelry design, which provide new ideas and methods for creating more cultural and creative works with cultural characteristics in the future.
