Abstract

Traditional folk utensils carry the profound folk customs and regional cultural characteristics of an area or even a nation, representing a materialized heritage formed through the long-term living and laboring of the people. In recent years, with the revival of traditional culture in China and the rise of folk activities in various regions, these traditional folk utensils have once again been presented with new opportunities for development. As traditional tools for living and production in the Minnan region of Fujian Province, China, rattan weaving utensils are revered for their populist, artistic, and practical qualities. This paper will take the "Minnan rattan weaving utensils" as the research subject, combining regional ecological conditions, the process of rattan weaving, and characteristic rattan products, to conduct in-depth research and analysis on the material selection, functional design, and structural layout of the utensils, in order to explore the underlying design concepts. At the same time, using research methods such as functional analysis and field investigation, a detailed study and analysis of the "transformation and activation mechanisms" of "Minnan rattan weaving utensils" in the context of the new era will be conducted. Through this series of work, the aim is to reveal the development trajectory and innovative path of Minnan rattan weaving utensils in modern society.
