Abstract

This study examines aesthetics of craftsmanship and cultural symbols in porcelain restoration. Porcelain, a significant carrier of Chinese culture, holds historical and artistic values. Yet, damage from disasters and humans has occurred. Restoration involves recovering material culture and inheriting cultural/historical connotations. Restorers must balance tech and art, using modern tech and traditional craftsmanship to preserve appearance and aesthetics. The study aims to promote awareness of cultural preservation and provide theoretical support for future restoration.

Keywords
