QiuYu Li explains:
The shaping of civilization is a broad and complex concept, encompassing various aspects such as social organization, technological advancements, legal systems, and value systems, which cover the overall development and progress of a society. Therefore, design has its limitations and is not sufficient to shape civilization. However, design plays a significant role in the creation and shaping of culture. For instance, through various forms of symbols and modes of expression, design influences and shapes the recognition, inheritance, and expression of specific cultures, evoking resonance and conveying certain values or narratives. In terms of the dissemination and exchange of world cultures, design is indispensable.
