In the first place, it introduces the definition and theory of industrial design.

Finally, it proposes that in order to regulate a modern design theory with Chinese characteristics. We must learn the advanced industrial design theory from the west. At the same time, we must fully excavate the essence of traditional Chinese handicraft culture. Also we should integrate Chinese traditional handicraft design theory into the west modern industrial design theory.
