The Origin
Inspired by the poem "To The Lady Of River Xiang", created by Qu Yuan, the greatest poet in ancient China, we selected some of these images and extracted their morphology.
On Nothern Isle descends my dear, but I am grieved to see not clear.
The ceaseless autumn breeze grieves, the Dongting waves with fallen leaves.
I gaze afar 'mid clover white, and wait for our tryst at twilight.
Among the reeds can birds be free? What can a net do on the tree?
White clover grows beside the creek; I long for you but dare not speak.
I gaze afar, my beloved one, I see but rippling water run.
Could deer find food within the door? What could a dragon do ashore?
At dawn by riverside I urge my steed; At dusk across the western stream I speed.
For you bid me to come today; Together we're to ride away.
A midstream palace shall be made, O'er its roof lotus weave a shade.
In purple court thyme decks the wall, with fragrant pepper spread the hall.
Pillars of cassia stand upright, and rooms smell sweet with clover white.
We weave the ivy into a screen, and spread the ground with its leaves green.
The cornerstones shall be white jade, and fragrance of orchids shall not fade.
On lotus roof let vetch be found, and fresh azaleas around.
The courtyard filled with herbs so fair, the corridor with perfume rare.
All gods will come from mountains high, like clouds that overspread the sky.
I throw, when waking from my dream, my shirt with sleeves into the stream.
I pluck sweet flowers on the bay, I'd give to strangers far away.
Lost time can't oft be found again, from thinking of you I'd refrain.

In the end we chose the river as our ultimate subject
-
The river is the most important image throughout the entire poem. It has a very abstract form, which means that it has a huge space for our creation.
-
In Chinese traditional painting, there are a large number of works that express water. This is also conducive to carrying forward the traditional Chinese artistry.
-
Water wave lines and dynamic also make this part of the interaction design more brilliant.
Icon Design
Crow cyan
Grey white
Plain white
In order to break away from the quasi-physical habitual practice in ancient style, based on the original icons, we endowed the image of Xiang River with every icon and adjusted transparency of layers to make them look like abstract water waves. At the same time, these icons also convey an antique atmosphere of Chu Ci.

Weather Interface
In the weather interface, I chose the most unique sculpture of each city, and when the user came to a different city, I switched to the corresponding sculpture. At the same time in different weather showing a different color to reflect the weather.
Light snow
Light rain
Sunny
The Lock Screen Interface
The lock screen interface innovates on the basis of the traditional slide to unlock interface, fits the image of Xiang River we extracted from Madame Xiang and adds a lot of interesting feelings in the user startup interface.At the same time different lock screen also corresponds to a different city.
All Interfaces
Interfaces express the features of Madame Xiang with the combination of ancient and modern styles. Mild hue makes t he style antique and arrangement of lines pays homage to the traditional Chinese realistic painting. Such a neutral style will appeal to the broader target audience.
Interactive Animated Videos
We made interactive animated videos for applications such as message, phone, photos and weather. These animations can play a role in guiding users and enhance users’ experience of beauty.
