The Changsha kiln flourished in the Tang Dynasty was an important kiln entrance on the Maritime Silk Road.After more than 200 years,it gradually weakened in the fifth generation.Changsha kiln is the birthplace of underglaze color in the world,and also created a precedent for crafts such as text decoration and die-printing decals.Changsha kiln,which blends foreign culture and Chinese culture,has become an export kiln comparable to Yue kiln celadon and Xing kiln white porcelain and has created an irreplaceable position in the history of ceramic trade.Nowadays,Changsha kiln’s ceramic firing skills are also Be included in one of the world’s intangible cultural heritage.This article uses the rhetorical methods of metaphor and metonymy in product semantics to research and design the Changsha kiln rat tea utensils,innovatively design traditional utensils and crafts into tea utensils and integrate them into the tea drinking life of the target users.This article starts from the existing research and design practice of Changsha kiln,rat year and tea utensils,and finds the starting point based on design innovation.The author went to Tongguan many times to visit local craftsmen,industry secretary,Laojie shop,Changsha Tongguan Kiln Museum,Hunan Provincial Museum,Tongguan Kiln New Hualian Museum to obtain first-hand information to facilitate in-depth understanding of the industry status and current development direction,and After researching the literature and books,it analyzes the development process of Changsha kiln and analyzes,studies,sorts out and extracts the cultural characteristics of Changsha kiln utensils from product function,product decoration,and product semantics.This article explores user needs and design pain points from market research,questionnaire surveys and structured interviews to optimize the design process of the Changsha kiln rat zodiac tea container,making the design easier to accept and better conveying semantic features and cultural resonance from the design.Based on the previous research,the symbol features of rats and Changsha kiln were extracted according to the principle of metaphor,and the auspicious semantics related to the symbols were selected in combination with traditional craftsmanship to innovate the design of tea utensils for the drinking habits of the target population.
