The traditional craftsmanship spirit of China was born in the traditional agricultural society and nurtured by the traditional Chinese culture. It is a spirit with moral standards and professional ethics, including three dimensions: morality, precision and respect. This spirit shows the ancient craftsmanship thoughts of “Unity of Man and Nature”, and reflects their belief in respecting nature and cherishing things. The natural tendency in the spirit of traditional craftsmanship is mainly reflected in utilization of local materials, creation of artistic form, and adaptation to local conditions, which reflects the aspiration of conforming to and expressing nature. This concept embodies the principle of people-oriented thinking. The design of the living environment for the future elderly population needs to adhere to the principle of people-oriented design. This natural tendency is still of important practical value and significance. It is a bridge between traditional Chinese creation culture and modern manufacturing skills, an important link to realize the transformation from traditional craftsmanship spirit to modern craftsmanship spirit, which contributes to the construction of the “human” dimension in the living environment for the elderly population.
