Abstract

As the product of human ingenuity, handicrafts derive multi-level speculative characteristics in the aesthetic process. This paper intends to take advantage of this artistic creation phenomenon rich in philosophical speculation and practical labor. Firstly, through Chinese and even East Asian handicrafts, the daily practical value of the people in the middle ages is first; Secondly, under the background of this change, it explores the possibility of reconnecting the soul between man and the universe and society from the aspects of technology and art, thinking and work, mind and human hands; Finally, from the perspective of utensil aesthetics, this paper analyzes the beauty of the intersection between the present and the past, the practicability of daily life and ordinary human feelings, and the beauty of the local essence of the hometown, reveals the future of the traditional Tao and utensils in East Asia to create a more dynamic aesthetic tradition in handicrafts, and explores the aesthetic possibility of reconstructing the “ordinary heart” of the ancient tradition under the background of the post industrial era.
