บทคัดย่อ
Introduction: Ceramic restoration in the Ming and Qing dynasties—exemplified by Juci (metal-staple repair)—couples technique with aesthetics and advances a cultural view that accepts imperfection, continuity, and ethical renewal through visible mending.
Objective: To analyze the craft procedures and aesthetic philosophy of Juci in the Ming–Qing period and to consider their contemporary reinterpretation in art and design.
Methods: A qualitative approach integrates literature review, field investigation, comparative analysis, and practice-based experimentation to read Juci as a unified aesthetic–cultural system.
Results: Juci converts fractures into geometric and symbolic paths that enact the principle “broken but preserved, repaired without deception.” Its visual language highlights prized imperfection, the memory of time, and deliberate material contrast, anchored in Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist traditions.
Conclusion: By connecting historical technique to contemporary creative renewal, this study formulates an “aesthetics of repair” that advances heritage protection and sustains broader cultural development.
