Porcelain, as an important carrier of China's fine traditional culture, with its unique concept of "the unity of vessel and Dao" and rich cultural coding, profoundly embodies the spiritual pursuit and value orientation of the Chinese nation. This article, starting from a historical perspective, explores the cultural connotations of Chinese porcelain, revealing how it conveys the core concepts of traditional culture such as "blessing, wealth, longevity, joy, and wealth" through the expression of ritual systems, the metaphorical system of decorative patterns, and the philosophical interpretation of glaze colors and shapes. Chinese artisans throughout history, with benevolence and righteousness as the core, integrated the ideal personality of Confucianism into porcelain creation, endowing it with the spirit of the times. Chinese porcelain is not only a manifestation of artistic beauty but also an important medium for the reconstruction of cultural heritage under the national discourse. Its "expression of objects" and "spirit of craftsmanship" vividly interpret the cultural, aesthetic, and spiritual connotations of China, providing important inspirations for the inheritance and innovation of China's fine traditional culture.
