Examining The Continuation of Tradition from The Heritage Construction of Three Ceramic Education Models in Contemporary China

Open access
This article uses interpretive anthropology and constructivist cultural theory as a framework to conduct an in-depth discussion on the inheritance of traditional Chinese ceramic art.The researchers conducted rigorous participant observation with a group of traditional ceramic masters, KUDAN handmade ceramics factory, and Jingdezhen Ceramic University, and used qualitative research methods to conduct a comprehensive analysis.Reveals the complex processes and techniques by which three contemporary inheritance models maintain ancient heritage in different ways.Our survey revealed a striking paradox: while the essence of practitioners in all three models still wants to preserve tradition,but the nuanced adaptations and different pursuits are seamlessly integrated into the fabric of their artistic careers,differentiated construction methods will lead to three completely different results for heritage inheritance.These phenomena are consistent with the principles of cultural diversity and sustainability, and within the dynamic context of an evolving industrial landscape we examine how traditional values transform and balance is struck between the preservation of enduring traditions and the urgency of change. This research provides certain reference value for the sustainable development of traditional culture and has a profound impact on art practitioners and traditional culture scholars.
