李吉庆的书籍设计理念探究
Exploration of Li Jiqing’s Book Design Ideas

李吉庆先生作为新中国成立后的杰出装帧艺术家，其作品视觉语言丰富，设计风格反映了时代的发展变迁。通过对李吉庆本人进行访谈以及对其作品的研究，可以将他的书籍装帧理念概括为三个方面，即书籍的中国气韵在“骨”而不在“古”，书籍设计者应当成为“杂家”，书籍设计应为作者而设计，为读者的美好体验设计，为书籍内容附形。这些理念是他立足传统和现实、追求理想的过程中所形成的，是中国现代书籍设计的宝贵思想资源，对当代书籍设计创新实践具有积极的启发意义。
As an outstanding book designer after the founding of China, Li Jiqing’s works have a rich visual language, his design style reflects the development and change of times. Through the interview with Li Jiqing and the study of his design works, we can summarize his bookbinding philosophy in three aspects: the Chinese character of books lies in the “bone” but not in the “ancient”, every book designer should become a “miscellaneous expert”, the book should be designed for its author and for the reader’s great experience, and designers should attach visual graphics to the content of the books. Li Jiqing’s concepts are based on tradition and reality, and they are formed in the process of his pursuit of ideals, these concepts are valuable resources of modern Chinese book design, which has positive inspiration for the innovative practice of contemporary book design.
