本研究期望透過從歷史文獻的回顧研究過程中，重新審視與釐清有關「包裝」之定義，並重新思考傳統包裝的定位與綠色設計哲學之間的相互價值所在，並同時藉此探討思考傳統文獻中設計理論的既存樣貌與參考價值。研究方法主要運用中國古代文獻中，有關傳統包裝符合綠色設計概念相關的內容抽出與整理解析為研究中心。主要研究成果則有：1.在重度需求使用下所形成自然環境劇烈變遷的後果，皆促使著開始思考回歸傳統少量化生活形式背後所生成的內在價值。2.傳統包裝所體現的使用哲學，乃透過業者、使用者兼設計者的消費群所共同構築起的消費形式，也正說明業者、設計師與消費者的再教育及自我提升有其必要性。3.使用習慣的養成隨社會風氣;使用者的思維與認知；價值觀與道德觀的變化影響後逐步形成，也是綠色觀念能否深植人心的重要關鍵。4.在地方性概念日見薄弱的今日，真地域文化風土特徵的傳統包裝，反而較能夠為地方產業開拓出全新的道路。

This research expectation from historical document's review process, carefully examines with defines clearly "packing" the definition, and pondered the traditional packing the localization and between the green design philosophy's value, expected discovers both superposition the new direction. The major achievements of this study are: 1. as the result of the drastic changes in natural environment caused by the excessive demand for packages, there is emerging reflection on the correlations between materials, human beings, and the society and the intrinsic value of returning to the traditional life-style of simplicity; 2. the philosophy embedded in the use of traditional packages, which is a consumption model jointly constructed by a consumer group consisting of package manufacturers and package users who are also designers, suggests that it is necessary for package manufacturers, designers, and consumers to re-educate and improve themselves. 3. the formation of package use habits is a gradual process whic h is under the int1uence of social morale and changes in the user's thoughts, awareness, values, and ethics. Only when people realize the natural environment is a part of their lives will the green concept take root in people's mind, and this is very critical. 4. It is a time when the concept of local characteristics is getting weaker and weaker day by day. Traditional packages, however, with their local culture characteristics, can beat a brand-new path for local industries.
