본 연구의 목적은 최근 중국 게임시장에서 인기 있는 온라인게임의 전통예술 표현 특징을 분석하는 것이다. 전통 중국문화의 미적 특징에 대한 플레이어의 심리 선호도를 반영하는 MMORPG 캐릭터를 디자인함으로써 플레이어가 게임을 즐기는 동시에 시각적 만족감을 느낄 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 최근 전통문화를 배경으로 제작한 중국 온라인게임은 많은 플레이어들에게 인기를 끌고 있지만, 외국게임업계의 중국 게임시장 진입에 따라 더욱 다원화된 방식으로 진행되고 있다. 이러한 현재의 중국 온라인 게임 환경을 고려하여 중국 MMORPG 중에서 고유한 전통예술 표현을 활용하는 전통 신화 무협 게임을 선택하고, 개인 플레이어를 반영하는 이상적인 캐릭터 조작이나 사회성 등을 분석하여 전통인물의 형태, 복식, 색, 주거환경을 반영한 표현기법, 캐릭터의 이상적인 형태나 전통 신화의 제한된 주제의 재구성, 캐릭터의 독창성이나 개성이 강조된 집합체 캐릭터 특징을 파악하였다. 중국 MMORPG 역사가 길지 않지만 이러한 연구를 통해 중국의 전통 문화 예술과 관련된 신화 무협 MMORPG의 정체성을 파악하고 플레이어로 하여금 더욱 효과적인 온라인게임의 이해와 만족감을 증가시킬 수 있으리라 본다.

Clothing is intimately intertwined with daily lives as every individual relies on it. The pervasive issue of plagiarism in the fashion industry has led to an increased demand to protect intellectual property rights. Currently, studies on the protection of fashion design intellectual property rights in China remain in the exploratory stage and warrant further investigation. This paper addresses the issue in two parts. The first part contains an analysis of the theoretical foundation for the protection of fashion design copyrights. It is further divided into three subsections. The first subsection primarily examines the concept of copyrights and laws. The second subsection focuses on the concept of fashion design copyrights and laws. The third subsection analyzes copyright laws concerning fashion designs in China. The second section offers an analysis of infringement cases involving fashion designs published during the Baiyi Cup Intellectual Property Case Summary Writing Competition held in China in 2023. It outlines the shortcomings of the current Chinese copyright laws regarding the protection of fashion designs, and proposes measures for improvement. This study argues that the institutional framework for intellectual property rights in the Chinese fashion industry should align with practical considerations and explores suitable legal regulations and how they relate to specific circumstances in China. Besides refining the legal framework, fashion designers and enterprises must take measures to entablish the intellectual property rights of their clothing brands.

In recent years, young Chinese consumers have become more favorably inclined toward products relating to traditional culture. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a textile design that incorporates traditional Chinese patterns and cultural symbolism that will appeal to consumers from the MZ generation (millennials and Generation Z). Through a literature search for traditional Chinese patterns and symbols regarded as auspicious, our design concept and motives were established. We selected peony, lotus, and frog motifs as representative of a "wealth and eternal prosperity" design theme. In textile design work 1, we used hand drawing and watercolor techniques, color transformation with Adobe Photoshop, and colorway and end-use 3D simulation with TexPro. The 3D simulation work suggests that this textile pattern is suitable for women's outerwear, mufflers, and tote bags. Textile design work 2 conveyed the 'wealth and eternal prosperity' design theme and had a graceful mood that embodied the nobility of the lotus flower whilst also encompassing the symbolism of money and status. The end design is a modern reinterpretation of traditional Chinese patterns and motifs. As such, it is hoped that it will satisfy the needs of young consumers for cultural values yet offer a unique new aesthetic distinct from existing textile designs. These qualities can be expected to enhance the competitive market value of textiles bearing this design.
