The purpose of this study is to introduce Peircean(Charles Sanders Peirce, 1839-1914) Semiotics terms and ideas of signs in relation to Yi Wenzi's Theory of Form and Term from the in an attempt to help people in the design field to understand the development of signs in Chinese traditional culture. In order to achieve the purpose stated, Document Method was applied to analyze and conclude the main points from the Yi Wenzi’s Theory of Form and Term. In addition, Peircean Semiotics and Pragmatism method was applied to find the principles of expressing meanings from the Term. The history, the structures, the functions and the characteristics of the Term were main contents analyzed in this study. The results of this study show the meanings of the Term might be learned as a name of a thing. Besides, in Peircean Semiotics term, the Term from the Yi Wenzi's Theory have the genuine triadic relation: the Term as a Sign; the entity as an object; the meaning as an interpretation. Next, Yi Wenzi's Theory of Term stands two functions in identifications and communications. Further, for Yi Wenzi's Theory, the Form and Term are a convention in relation that similar to the symbol sign from Peircean Sign Typology. Specially, for Yi Wenzi there are a potential practical characteristic between the Term and the Meaning that also similar to Peircean Pragmatism. Finally, the Theory Form and Term really stand for something in some respect, therefore, the Theory of Form and Term might be called signs in the view of Semiotics. These points above that might be new and helpful in explaining how to work by applying the ideas and theories outlined for people in the field of Art and Design.
