ABSTRACT

The people-oriented design, political conditions and social backgrounds produce a design concept that meets the development of the times. The origin of this design concept is cultural and environmental, and other crafts legend has created it not out of thin air. As for the source, how to further develop the craftsmanship is the purpose of this paper on the ancient traditional purple sand art. The development of ancient purple sand craftsmanship is a proof of several hundred years of practice. The advantages and disadvantages of this practice can be directly exposed by the research. As long as the intention is summarized, it can be found that the development of this craft is not an isolated region that has been mythized by contemporary people, and its development is based on the humanities at that time, regional culture, integrated with a variety of techniques, combined with social backgrounds of different periods, reflecting the results of social and cultural needs, and there is a design thinking on modeling and aesthetic choice in the late Qing Dynasty. The different kinds of decorative styles of teapots exported to Europe and Southeast Asia indicate that the design thinking at that time was not beyond imagination. Demands, methods, and humanities should be the main sources of thinking. This paper analyzes the development of the history of purple sand tea sets and protect traditional molding techniques as a precondition to provide a feasible direction for the creation and development of contemporary purple sand tea sets.
