Abstract

The Yuhuchun vase form, originating in the Song Dynasty, is a notable exemplar of Chinese ceramic aesthetics and cultural identity. This study examines the morphological evolution and cultural continuity of Ru porcelain Yuhuchun vases from their classical forms to contemporary reinterpretations. Through visual analysis, typological comparison, and the integration of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) perspectives, the research identifies key changes in form, glaze, and symbolic connotation. It argues that despite formal innovations in modern adaptations, the aesthetic principles rooted in Song philosophy—simplicity, nature, and symbolism—continue to shape the cultural perception of Ru porcelain. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of ceramic heritage transmission and design innovation in the context of global material culture.
