This research aims to explore the usage of homophones as the medium of art design in Chinese characters, which is different from the previous study of font line design. Through the aesthetics of calligraphy, semiotics, and the performance of Chinese characters in the past, the study has discovered the three experiences such as: The Display of Cultural Awareness, The Association of Text Images, and The Application of Eedia.

Through the associated concept of transformation, the homonym of the same Chinese character text is regarded as the rationality of design method, and a set of method for screening and researching the homonym and meaning pairing is drawn up, to obtain the available design and imaginable materials. Viewing the performance of Chinese character art and the aesthetics of calligraphy, whether in calligraphy or Chinese character art design, font lines are a way of presenting, but the cultural awareness attached to, was from the expression of the creator’s desire to its uniqueness, life course, and experiences.

Based on the deduction of these experiences, this study uses homophones as a way of presenting, followed by the material of the screening and the cultural awareness to express the series of sample design of homophones. "Disc and Cymbal" and "Disc and Stack" were two sets of design as illustrated example. By the design of non-font lines, can also express out the cultural awareness of the thinker effectively in the design of Chinese characters. Although under the framework of Chinese character art, the works presents the cultural meaning and the consciousness given by the thinker, it is not a matter of the media nor the value of the purpose to this article lies in the transformation idea of this media application.
