중국 고대 신화 산해경(山海经) 속 이수(異獸)의 현대 주얼리 디자인 적용 사례 연구 -2010년 이후 중국 주얼리 디자인-

초록

With the changing socio-cultural landscape, jewelry designs incorporating mythological and animal motifs have rapidly expanded over the past decade. While the Shan Hai Jing (Shan Hai Jing) theme of exotic animal jewelry initially faced limited market acceptance due to its short history and aesthetic differences from traditional animal jewelry, continued experimentation by designers and the emergence of diverse exotic animal motifs have led to a gradual expansion of public awareness and consumption. This study analyzes the formative characteristics and design implications of exotic animal motifs in contemporary jewelry design, focusing on the exotic animal motifs featured in the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas), an ancient Chinese mythological text. To this end, the study examined the geometrical features and narrative background of the exotic animal motifs based on the original text, annotations, and illustrations of the Shan Hai Jing. The study focused on Shan Hai Jing exotic animal jewelry as it appeared in jewelry brands, individual designers, and exhibitions since the 2010s. Literature review and case studies were combined for the research method, and a qualitative analysis was conducted focusing on exotic animal jewelry pieces actually produced, distributed, or presented in the contemporary market. The analysis revealed that, unlike traditional jewelry that imitates real animals, Shan Hai Jing Yi Su jewelry is characterized by its authenticity based on original texts, yet creatively expressed through the extraction and reconstruction of formative elements. Furthermore, narrative elements visualizing mythological stories and symbols, and cultural elements incorporating cultural connotations such as “fortune,” “auspiciousness,” and “wisdom” emerged as key design characteristics. Based on this analysis, this study suggests future development potential for Shan Hai Jing Yi Su jewelry and provides a theoretical foundation for jewelry design research utilizing mythical animal motifs.
