This book is a reference guide that informs how to tell the story of contemporary Chinese design by introducing the core concepts involved in the contemporary Chinese design history. It not only prepares future generations to tell the story of contemporary Chinese design, but also serves as a reference for developing countries in Asia that share similar contexts with China. As the core concepts of design history narratives, historical foundation, stylistic interpretation, and practical integration place contemporary Chinese design history in a contemporary context that distinguishes it from the universal modernity of developed Western countries. The special modernity theory extended from the narrative path of Chinese contemporary design history is universally applicable to the Asian region. This is a contemporary path to circumvent the colonization of Western grand narrative discourse, and will be conducive to the revival of the narrative center of Asian design history. These efforts can make the narrative discourse of Chinese contemporary design history, and even the narrative discourse of Asian design history, integrate into the narrative discourse of the world's design history and restore the integrity of the world's design history.
