| 总结: | Purpose: Yixing Zisha teapots represent a significant aspect of Chinese ceramic craftsmanship, recognised as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of China. Beyond their functional role as teaware, these teapots embody substantial cultural and aesthetic value within ceramic art. However, the lack of systematic research into their underlying design concepts and theoretical foundations has contributed to perceptions of stagnation or limited innovation, posing considerable challenges for their preservation and transmission within educational contexts. Method: This qualitative study employs semi-structured interviews (N=20) to examine the design principles of Yixing Zisha teapots through the lens of intangible cultural heritage. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify fundamental concepts embedded in Zisha teapot design and to synthesise key themes, thereby enhancing the comprehension of systematic design principles. Findings: The findings reveal that Yixing Zisha teapot design constitutes a holistic practice informed by traditional Chinese philosophical thought, incorporating six key elements: design form, method, pattern, aesthetics, and decoration. Implications for Research and Practice: This study consolidates principles relevant to Yixing Zisha teapot design, articulates a theoretical framework, and offers practical recommendations for the preservation and education of this intangible cultural heritage. © 2024 Ani Publishing Ltd.
