Traditional Chinese Cultural Elements in Ceramic Tea Set Design Based on Morphosemantics

The evolution of ceramic tea sets continues to the present day. The integration of traditional Chinese cultural elements into the design of ceramic tea sets serves to enhance the aesthetic function of the design and expand the design elements, while also improving the cultural connotation of the tea set products. This study employs the theory of morphosemantics to examine the integration of traditional Chinese cultural elements into ceramic tea set design. It proposes a methodology for combining conventional cultural elements with modern design in novel ways, thereby facilitating the inheritance and innovation of cultural heritage. Guided by the theory of morphosemantics, this study presents a synthesis of the morphological principles, meanings, and design methods associated with traditional cultural elements in ceramic tea set design. It underscores the value of innovative design based on inheritance and advocates for the effective integration of cultural inheritance and modern design.

A Sino‒Thai Blue-and-White Porcelain at UMMA

A blue-and-white porcelain lidded bottle housed at the University of Michigan Museum of Art stands as a significant representative from a collection of late 19th-century tea sets crafted in China for the Siamese court. This brief examination delves into crucial visual cues, such as the bottle’s distinct ringed-neck shape, incorporation of typical Chinese auspicious motifs, depictions of Siamese coinage and royal monograms from the Rama V period in its decorative patterns, and the presence of a Chinese-language hallmark on its base. These visual elements and inscriptions collectively unveil insights into the bottle’s purpose, origins, and its broader significance within the realm of Sino–Thai ceramics.

Research on an innovative design and evaluation method of Chinese tea sets based on GT-AHP-FCE.

In order to explore new consumer demands for Chinese tea set products, propose an innovative tea set product design and evaluation method to improve the user experience and satisfaction of the produced tea sets, thereby promoting the development of the tea set market and the promotion of tea culture. Firstly, grounded theory (GT) was used to analyze interview data to extract consumer demand indicators and construct a design evaluation hierarchical model. Secondly, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to calculate the weights of the indicators, determine their priority of importance, and obtain several indicators that have a greater impact on the tea set design to guide innovative design practice. Lastly, the tea set design schemes were evaluated using the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to select the optimal design scheme and also to act as a guideline for further design optimization. This study explores the innovative design and evaluation method for tea set products based on GT-AHP-FCE and validates the feasibility of this approach through a practical example of tea set design inspired by "The Classic of Mountains and Seas.". It provides innovative theoretical and practical guidance for designers of subsequent tea set products and also provides a new path for the inheritance and innovation of traditional culture.

Influence of Various Tea Utensils on Sensory and Chemical Quality of Different Teas.

The choice of tea utensils used for brewing significantly impacts the sensory and chemical attributes of tea. In order to assess the influence of various tea sets on the flavor and chemical composition of different tea varieties, a combination of sensory evaluation and high-performance liquid chromatography was employed. The results showed that the content of amino acids in the tea liquid brewed with tin tea utensils was relatively higher, which could exhibit freshness in taste, thus suitable for brewing green tea and white tea. The content of polyphenols, soluble carbohydrates, and water extract in the tea liquid brewed with a porcelain tea set was relatively higher; the sweetness and thickness of the tea liquid were increased, so it was more beneficial to brew black tea. The purple sand tea set was suitable for brewing oolong tea and dark tea, and could endow their respective quality characteristics. Ultimately, these research findings provide a scientific basis for the selection of tea utensils tailored to different types of tea.

Communicating through Grief: The Effects of Writing in Victorian and Gilded Ages

Grief is a complex emotional response to loss, often associated with the death of a loved one. However, there were many ways that it was expressed. Mourning stationery, mourning cigarettes, hair wreaths, and mourning rings, on the more expensive end, were objects used to signal a public display of grief, but writing had a profound influence on the Victorian and Gilded Ages, but even in death, there was money to be made in death during the Victorian and Gilded Ages. The world of commerce was quick to recognize the money to be made from this unexpected and unprecedented run on all things funeral. This economic foresight triggered a surge in British manufacturing. As the production of mourning tea sets reveals, taking tea and thinking about death were two cultural practices that could be done simultaneously. An important legacy that remained in mourning was letter writing and stationery during the Victorian and Gilded Ages, which was based on the writer and recipient of expressive papers, and has been maintained as a tradition through modern times as a form of expression and healing. As mourning became more expressive, handwritten notes and letters reached peak popularity during the second half of the 19th century and became fashionable for people as being characterized by having an elegant simplicity.

The Study of English Translation of Tea Wares in China National Tea Museum from the Perspective of Eco-Translatology

The tea culture now plays a prominent role in the traditional Chinese culture. Tea ware, the ‘carrier’ of tea culture, is crucial to the global spread of the Chinese tea culture if properly translated. The Eco-Translatology provides translators with a fresh perspective when translating tea wares, allowing them to create a more desirable translation when doing adaptive selection and transformation in terms of tea sets concerning the linguistic, cultural, and communicative dimensions. The paper studies the English translation of tea wares at the China National Tea Museum from the perspective of Eco-Translatology, with the objective of providing several insights into the English translation of tea wares so as to facilitate the international dissemination of the Chinese tea culture.

MARKETING STRATEGY ANALYSIS OF RECYCLED PRODUCTS IN IMPROVING INDEPENDENT GRADUATION OF HOPE FAMILY PROGRAM GROUP

Even though it is supported by the Smart City label, as the capital city of West Java Province, Bandung is still having trouble handling waste. The plan to use incinerator technology at the Sarimukti landfill has never been built because it is considered a threat to the environment and public health. Furthermore, biodigester technology from Japan was initiated, but it did not materialize. As a result, waste becomes an unresolved problem. Therefore, according to Law no. 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management, the paradigm of waste management must be changed from collect-transport-dispose to reduction at source and recycling through the 3R principle (reduce, reuse, recycle). “Pasigaran Handmade and Crafts” was established on July 16, 2019, having its address at Pasigaran Village, Citeureup Village, Dayeuhkolot District, Bandung Regency, West Java Province. This business was founded on the anxiety of companions because more and more poor people need government assistance but cannot be covered by the government budget, in addition to the abundance of paper waste that is no longer used so that the idea of turning newsprint into a variety of recycled products such as wall clocks, bags was born. , tea sets and various containers. The essence of planning is how to determine various programs and activities aimed at gradually achieving long-term goals. Therefore, the preparation of programs and activities must be based on organizational goals, both short term (0-2 years) and long term (2-5 years). Performance measures are carried out by setting indicators of success, both short term and long term

Modeling Design of Ceramic Products Based on Digital Image Processing Technology

With the improvement of people’s living standards, people’s pursuit of art is also getting higher and higher. Ceramic products are artistic works whose meanings contain thousands of stories including mountains, waters, and rivers. Ceramic products include vases, tea sets, flower pots, plates, and rice bowls. A vase is a vessel, mostly made of ceramic or glass, with a beautiful and smooth appearance. The bottom of the vase usually holds water, which keeps the plants alive and beautiful. Tea utensils refer to tea-drinking utensils such as tea cups, teapots, tea bowls, tea cups, saucers, and tea trays in a narrow sense. There are many kinds of tea sets in China, with beautiful shapes. In addition to practical value, they also have high artistic value, so they are well known at home and abroad and are favored by tea lovers in all dynasties. Digital image processing is the use of computers to remove noise and enhance, restore, segment, and extract features from images. Discrete mathematics is a mathematical subject that studies the structure of discrete quantities and their interrelationships and is an important branch of modern mathematics. The meaning of discrete refers to different elements connected together, mainly to study the structure and mutual relationship based on discrete quantities. Its objects are generally limited or countable elements. With the continuous development of digital image processing technology, this technology has also been applied to the shape design of ceramic products. This paper mainly conducts in-depth research on the preprocessing algorithm of digital images, from the initial analysis of the historical culture of the process to the subsequent algorithm research. Then its accuracy is matched to make a comparison, and finally an estimate based on the ceramics studied in this paper will be made. In the experimental part, the public is first investigated and analyzed, and the conclusion shows that the results of the color investigation of ceramic products include the following aspects: There are about 103 people having more needs for light and elegant color feeling, which echoes the needs of modeling. There are around 97 people demanding that the color be combined with the shape to reflect the color difference between the interior and the exterior. Since the internal and external chromatic aberration and mixed colors will bring novelty to the appearance of ceramic products, there are also a large number of people in the demand for mixed colors, about 84 people. Then it is analyzed that the ink-and-wash ceramics in the landscape style are more popular, and then the detailed description is carried out. Finally, the finished product is displayed.

Influence of teaware on subjective ratings of, and taste expectations concerning, tea

Two studies were conducted in order to investigate the influence of teaware on consumers’ subjective ratings of, and taste expectations concerning, one of the world’s most popular beverages, namely tea. In Study 1, 100 Chinese participants and 100 participants from the USA viewed online photographs of Chinese brand and British brand green tea presented in either Chinese or British tea sets. The participants then rated their feelings about, taste expectations concerning, and willingness-to-pay for, each cup of tea. In Study 2, 65 Chinese participants also viewed these photos with either a high or low price label for each cup of tea. The results of both studies consistently revealed that the teaware influenced Chinese participants’ bitterness and astringency ratings concerning their tea expectations; whereas no such effects were found for the USA participants. Moreover, the teaware also influenced Chinese participants’ pleasantness ratings of tea when no price information was provided, but not when price information was presented. Collectively, these findings highlight the influence of the visual appearance of the receptacle on the subjective ratings of, and taste expectations concerning, tea. These results also compare the influence of product-extrinsic and contextual cues on consumers’ taste expectations.

Research in the Design of Cloud Service Platform for Tea Product Design Based on Consumers’ Will in the Background of Blockchain

Traditional tea sets are biased on the design, manufacture and sale of handicrafts. In the context of Blockchain, the comparison of tea makers’ consumer wishes and data statistics, combined with the design cloud service platform, will inevitably bring about a huge change in the design industry chain. Through two experiments, this paper reveals the relationship between consumer and product closeness, psychological distance and social distance. At the same time, based on the research and analysis of tea product design impact factor, it is uploaded to the product design cloud service platform. Let users mine design requirements, set up design teams, establish an open and shared industrial design, network interaction environment, and realize the design life cycle process through collaboration between front-end and back-end of the cloud service platform, combined with corresponding access technologies and virtualization technologies. Sharing and collaboration will also provide data and technical support for the breakthrough of the block industry chain in the later period.

Tea Sets and Tyranny: The Politics of Politeness in Early America by Steven C. Bullock

Reviewed by: Tea Sets and Tyranny: The Politics of Politeness in Early America by Steven C. Bullock Carrie Tirado Bramen (bio) Tea Sets and Tyranny: The Politics of Politeness in Early America steven c. bullock Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2017 304 pp. In our own time when political leaders have resorted to vitriol, expletives, and even hate speech, it is good to be reminded that this was not always the case. For historian Steven Bullock in his Tea Sets and Tyranny: The Politics of Politeness in Early America, one has to go back to the long eighteenth century to find a period when leadership was predicated on behavioral restraint. George Washington famously opposed profanity to such an extent that he prohibited cursing among his officers and soldiers; and remarkably, there is only one instance—and this is apparently still debated—when Washington cussed and it was on June 28, 1778, at the Battle of Monmouth. According to a frequently cited passage in Paul Van Dyke's George Washington: The Son of His Country (1931), an officer present at the battle noted that General Washington "swore that day until the leaves shook on the trees" (216). Washington appears in the epilogue of Bullock's narrative as a model of self-control and moderation, even though privately he was known to have a "fierce and irritable disposition" (217). By the end of the eighteenth century, politeness played a crucial role in Revolutionary-era politics, providing an important way to understand how sociality informed the political behavior of Anglo-American elites. Although Bullock's study concludes with George Washington's presidency, in an era when the culture of politeness had become hegemonic, the majority of the book focuses on the years between the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the American Revolution nearly a century later. The emphasis is on the evolution of politeness as a political strategy of leadership that is inextricably tied to notions of authority. For Bullock, politeness represents an important social practice that played a foundational political role [End Page 828] in the transition from authoritarian styles of governance to more democratic ones. The book's introduction provides a superb overview of the argument and a clear sense of its intervention in the long-standing scholarship on eighteenth-century politeness. In reference to this earlier scholarship, Bullock notes that historian Richard Bushman's The Refinement of America: Persons, Houses, Cities (1992) and literary scholar David Shields's Civil Tongues and Polite Letters (1997) focus on the social aspects of Anglo-American elite culture with little reference to governing approaches. Where Bushman turns to material history and the emergent culture of consumerism by looking at houses and picket fences, handkerchiefs, and even pickle dishes, Shields understands the social life of Anglo-American elites in their taverns, clubs, and coffeehouses. Neither Bushman nor Shields links politeness explicitly with political authority. More recent scholarship that addresses eighteenth-century theories of government in terms of restraint from John Locke to Thomas Jefferson tends to focus on institutions and structural concerns related to elections and checks and balances. Sociality plays an insignificant role. The foundational premise of Tea Sets and Tyranny is that notions of political authority cannot be discussed in a vacuum, but must involve sociality, culture, and interpersonal relations. Politeness is ultimately about power, where the social and the political are inextricably interwoven. Bullock writes, "Eighteenth-century discussions about manners were intimately intertwined with fundamental political issues, closely linking politeness (discipline of the self) with power (discipline of others)" (2). "Politeness" refers less to social hierarchies of good taste and more to how manners can inform a model of restrained authority and personal refinement through "sympathetic and responsive leadership" (2). The book's most significant contribution is the way it demonstrates how the political is personal, and conversely, how the personal is political in early America. By linking interpersonal behavior with political dynamics, Tea Sets and Tyranny places questions of power firmly at the center of a study of sociality. At the outset, Bullock asserts that he wants to avoid abstraction. To do this, he anchors his analysis in the biographical stories of six individuals: Francis Nicholson, the Virginia governor known for...

Me and All the Other Sevens of the World

Me and All the Other Sevens of the World Kate Ryan (bio) My mother was born 31 years and 49 days before me. In that time, I burrowed into her core like a ticking time bomb, or so she likes to say in so many words, before I erupted into this water-hungry world nine pounds round and she restored herself with a mocktail of tropical juices. All of this went down on a bright blue winter afternoon—the birthing, the bombing—just a mile’s drive from the Pacific Ocean. Her mother was there, the smallest of us Russian dolls, chatting nonstop to her seventh and best husband in the lobby, her squeals trailing down the laminated halls. Before trading in the seashell-patterned hospital gown for an oversized crew-neck and leggings, before coiling her long, root beer bob into a clip and packing all the lip tints and powders she hadn’t touched for days into her lumpy leather purse, my mother would enjoy a moment of silence with her newborn baby. She sat upright in bed with her hands folded in her lap like a choirgirl and waited for the nurse to arrive with the best possible parts of herself mopped up and bundled. When the nurse arrived at last, my mother sighed in the politest possible way and said, “Cute baby, but it’s not mine.” I was five when she told me this story for the first time, regaling me with her maternal sixth sense. I didn’t get the joke that I could never be mistaken for someone else’s daughter. As her miniature mirror image, my father’s friends would do double takes upon meeting me and ask, “You’re sure she’s not the milk man’s?” Her story didn’t stir up the slightest bit of fear in me that I could have so easily been someone else’s—not that anyone asked. How could I be sad if I never knew the difference? I wasn’t so sure a baby could belong to anyone to begin with. I belonged to this state [End Page 51] and its tall, langy palms, effete and ornamental as narrow neckties. I inhaled this county’s quilt-like marine layers and awesome smog sunsets. I got this place in all its cool distance and it got me. What actually kept me up at night was the dazzling thought my mother might not be human at all, but a rat king—as in, a king of rats—filling out a suit of human skin. There she goes applying hand cream, I’d think, rolling dough in her oak-gold kitchen, gliding down her grand staircase. Doing everything rats do when pretending to be human. Getting switched at birth happens more often than you might think, in large part because it’s impossible to know which kids were switched if no one thought to notice. My mother didn’t need to check our wristlets to see if they both carried her married name. She knew on sight, on instinct, on a private familiarization with the thing that was once living inside her and now out. “You can check all the wristbands you want,” she told the nurse, “but that’s not my baby.” At the time, my mother couldn’t have known I’d grow up to favor dirty overalls over flouncy dresses, glued-on mustaches over princess tea sets, unavailable women over zealous men. I’d fail to inherit her knack for gardening, leaving a trail of dead cacti in my wake. She couldn’t have known yet, though maybe she did, that I’d reject every likeness between us in a tired attempt to underscore the damage that had already been done. I’ve been thinking about all of this lately because my roommate has me hooked on birth charts. Give her your name, your birth date, and the approximate time you took your first sip of air and she’ll spit back your greatest hopes and fears along with your co-working style. She doesn’t do the math on her own, which involves some tetchy alchemy of rising moons and tilting star...
