摘要： This article explores the context in which Chinese contemporary design history is situated, and distinguishes the differences between the modernity embodied in the contemporary contexts of East and West. This study adopts grounded theory to analyze the interview data through a threelevel coding strategy, and focus on explaining the core themes formed by the selective coding. The study reveals three core themes to explain the contemporary context of Chinese contemporary design history. These core themes are the discontinuity between tradition and contemporaneity, the spatialization of time of historical evolution, and the contemporary design history dominated by popular aesthetics, which together reflect the special modernity of the contemporary Chinese context. The findings suggest that the narrative of Chinese contemporary design history needs to take into account the Chinese contemporary context, which fill the gap of the absence of Chinese contemporary design history in world design history. This study is the first application of grounded theory in the field of Chinese contemporary design history. As a result, these design history studies in developing countries can construct a contemporary design history that is different from the Western world, and then together constitute the world design history.
