Abstract

This study investigates the incorporation of traditional Chinese cultural elements into porcelain tea set design through the framework of morphosemantics, focusing on Falangcai porcelain as a case study. Utilizing archival records from the Imperial Workshop, researchers developed RGB and spectral databases (350–950 nm) specific to Jingdezhen Falangcai porcelain. Aesthetic features were systematically categorized using grounded theory in combination with the KANO-AHP hybrid model. To innovate and restore Falangcai patterns, a generative AI-assisted workflow was implemented, leveraging Stable Diffusion paired with Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA). Findings reveal that AIGC serves as an effective bridge between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design practices. Furthermore, the study highlights digital innovation strategies for Falangcai porcelain by incorporating sustainable design principles, providing actionable insights for modernizing this intangible cultural heritage.
