TAGS: Gift packaging, New Year, traditional Chinese culture, intangible cultural heritage, handicraft RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Paintings on the Spring Festival were mostly known as "paintings celebrating the Spring Festival" in ancient times. Bamboo baskets are often seen in such paintings. Since the Warring States Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties, hufu (a tiger-shaped tally issued to generals for troop movement) became popular. Given the awe-inspiring image of tigers, people in the late Qing Dynasty expected to protect children against demons with tiger, so tiger cap began to prevail. CHALLENGE: Take into full consideration the combination of traditional culture and daily life to design a gift box that is ideal for family interaction. In the process, the handmade part is full of challenges and requires times of tries if the best effect is expected.
