Study On Ear Shape Of Colored Pottery In Northwest China

Pottery in northwest of China has a long history.Pottery’s ear is one of the most important accessories in pottery.Its design is dependent on people’s way of thinking,living habits and social customs,and plays a certain prominent role in function and aesthetics.Based on the systematic study of the shape design of the colored pottery ear in northwest China,according to the palace architecture,the form of burial,production technology,the way of life of farming and nomadic peoples,with the help of archaeological data,it is concluded that the social background at that time promoted the development of the colored pottery ear.Collect the relevant image data of colored pottery ears,as well as the ears of different purposes of colored pottery ware,and divide them into conventional ears and special ears according to their shapes.It can be seen that all kinds of ears are highly unified in their functions and aesthetic concepts.According to the design method,the decorative design techniques of colored pottery ears can be divided into painting,carving,molding and other decoration.Different decorative design techniques can be divided into several categories according to the pattern type,from the single shape and decoration in the initial stage to the complex and diverse in the later stage,reflecting the transformation from material pursuit to spiritual pursuit in the design of pottery ears.From the perspective of ergonomics,this paper analyzes the structure and function of the design of colored pottery ear,considers the functional requirements from various aspects according to the practical requirements,undertaking strength and human body scale,analyzes the differences of the colored pottery ear made by the main factors of the appearance of the ear and the media of the people with dominant hands.From the perspective of design science,according to the different shapes of ear,the combination of virtual and real of ear and pattern,as well as the cognitive function and aesthetic function,the ear has the dual attributes of formal beauty and functional beauty.In the later stage of development,all kinds of utensil ears were similar to the shape and structure of colored pottery ears.Although the shapes were more diversified,they obviously inherited and continued the shape of colored pottery ears.In short,there is a root to be found in the evolution of the shape design of the colored pottery ear,which follows the development law of integration,differentiation and re-integration.
