賽事簡介
  “陽明心學”源自明代著名思想家王陽明，是中華文化的璀璨瑰寶，其核心思想如“心即理、知行合一、致良知、生態智慧”等，不僅深刻影響了中國乃至世界的文化格局，也為藝術和設計創作提供了豐富的靈感與啟發。本次賽事依托第十屆米蘭設計周-中國高校設計學科師生優秀作品展，旨在通過文化傳承與科技創新相結合，探索陽明心學在人工智能時代下的新形態、新語義、新媒介，發掘其在全球語境中的當代價值，推動“陽明心學”的國際化傳播，讓世界看到中國優秀傳統文化的深度與創新。
  命題主題
  “心學”新語·智繪“知行”
  “陽明心學”與人工智能的結合不僅是文化與技術的碰撞，更是對人機協同、心智共生的哲學探索。人工智能的價值不僅在于加速圖形化創意的生成效率，而在于它能通過跨域聯想與動態優化，幫助設計師更全面地獲取靈感洞察，從而為“心學”的理念賦予新形態、新語義、新媒介。參賽者可以結合“陽明心學”的核心思想，設計載體和呈現形式不限，從以下四個方向展開創作：
  “心即理”：讓AI成為心靈的鏡像，拓展人機共創的空間。參賽者可以探索如何通過AI工具映射“心”的意圖，展現符合當代生活方式的中國設計語言。
  “知行合一”：借AI之道銜接理念與實踐，推設計高效迭代。參賽者可以利用AI工具快速迭代概念設計，展示設計“過程”中的反思與洞察。
  “致良知”：用AI助力設計價值表達，承載人文關懷之溫度。參賽者可以借助AI輔助設計的途徑，連接人文之美與技術之善，通過作品傳達自己內心的良知。
  “生態智慧”：AI優化資源與系統，探索人與自然、社會的和諧共生的未來方案。參賽者可以嘗試借助AI在材料、能源、制造與使用場景上的智能化分析，尋求特定場景下更加環保、智能的綠色可持續解決方案。
  賽事宗旨
  以“陽明心學”為啟發，聚焦文化傳承與人工智能的結合，鼓勵參賽者以設計創意詮釋“心學”智慧的當代價值。本次大賽將面對四個類別進行作品征集，分別為：視覺傳達、產品設計、空間設計、數字媒體。要求作品創意鮮明并緊扣賽事主題、技法精湛傳承中國文化審美、表達完整且符合相應設計類別行業規范和技術標準。所有參賽作品均鼓勵使用人工智能輔助創作，但必須在設計說明中詳細描述使用AI的創作過程，描述需包含的信息見“作品規格”。

  3rd Yangmingism Cultural and Creative Design Competition
  Introduction
  Originating from the great Ming Dynasty philosopher Wang Yangming,Yangming Philosophy is a shining gem of Chinese culture.Its core ideas of“the mind is principle,”“unity of knowledge and action,”“innate moral sense,”and“ecological wisdom”have profoundly influenced both Chinese and global intellectual traditions.These concepts continue to inspire art and design with their humanistic depth and creative vitality.Building on the platform of the 10th Milan Design Week China Collegiate Design Competition&Exhibition,this competition seeks to integrate cultural heritage with technological innovation.Participants are encouraged to explore new forms,meanings,and media of Yangming Philosophy in the age of artificial intelligence,revealing its contemporary relevance and global significance.The event aims to promote the international visibility of Yangming Philosophy and demonstrate the depth and creativity of Chinese cultural innovation to the world.
  Theme
  Neo-Yangmingism,Unity of Knowledge,Action,and AI-Crafted Cultural Heritage
  Interpretation
  The fusion of Yangming Philosophy and artificial intelligence represents more than a meeting between culture and technology;it is a philosophical inquiry into human-AI collaboration and the co-evolution of mind and machine.The true value of AI lies not only in accelerating visual creativity but also in its capacity for cross-domain association and adaptive optimization,empowering designers to gain deeper insights and inspiration.Through this lens,AI offers new forms,meanings,and mediums for expressing the wisdom of the Yangming Philosophy.Participants are encouraged to interpret the essence of Yangming Philosophy freely through any design medium or format,drawing inspiration from the following four dimensions:
  “The Mind is Principle”:Let AI serve as a mirror of the human mind,expanding the possibilities of human-machine co-creation.Participants may explore how AI tools can reflect inner intentions and express a distinctly Chinese design language for contemporary life.“Unity of Knowledge and Action”:Use AI as a bridge between concept and practice,facilitating efficient design iteration.Participants can demonstrate reflective and insightful thinking through AI-assisted concept development and process exploration.“Innate Moral Sense”:Employ AI to express humanistic values and emotional depth in design.Through AI-augmented creation,participants are invited to connect beauty with empathy,and technology with moral consciousness.“Ecological Wisdom”:Apply AI to optimize systems and resources,envisioning a harmonious relationship between humans,nature,and society.Participants may explore sustainable,intelligent solutions through AI-driven material,energy,and contextual analysis.
  Purpose
  Inspired by Yangming Philosophy,this competition focuses on the integration of cultural heritage and artificial intelligence,encouraging participants to interpret the contemporary value of Yangming’s wisdom through innovative design.Entries are invited across four categories:Visual Communication,Product Design,Spatial Design,and Digital Media.Submissions should demonstrate originality and a strong connection to the competition theme,showcase refined craftsmanship that reflects Chinese cultural aesthetics,and meet the professional and technical standards of the respective design fields.AI-assisted creation is strongly encouraged across all categories.However,participants must include a detailed description of the AI-assisted design process in their design statement.The description should include the AI tools used,prompts or commands applied,and other relevant procedural details as specified in the“Submission Requirements.”
