Innovative design research of Huangmei pick pattern based on structural equation model and shape grammar with a focus on biomechanical aspects

In order to protect the inheritance and development of Huangmei picking flower, promote the pattern of Huangmei picking flower more in line with the aesthetics and taste of modern people, and enhance the cultural value of Chinese intangible cultural heritage, a pattern innovation scheme based on structural equation model with transcription and shape grammar to establish a clearer connection between design elements and their biological aesthetics and physiological preferences. The design elements of the pattern design that are popular among young consumers are extracted to provide effective guidance for pattern design. Methods: Firstly, the design elements were divided into dimensions, and further analyzed the four dimensions of the action mechanism affecting the popularity of modern young people with the help of structural equation modeling, and prioritized each dimension to guide the designers in the design of pattern elements. Secondly, we employ factor translation and shape grammar to create innovative designs based on these identified dimensions, ensuring that the designs resonate with biological and physiological preferences, such as symmetry and natural forms, which are often appealing to young consumers. Conclusion: Based on the organic combination of structural equation modeling, transliteration and shape grammar, we found that both of them have a positive influence on young people’s liking of the pattern, and further determine the priority of each design element and propose corresponding design strategies to redesign the pattern based on the factor transliteration and shape grammar, which assist designers to improve the satisfaction of modern young people from modern aesthetic needs, and provide new ideas for the innovation of modern pattern design. Ultimately, this research contributes to the protection and inheritance of Chinese intangible cultural heritage through innovative design approaches that consider biological and physiological factors.
