摘要 This paper examines the traditional handicraft of Ru porcelain from a unique perspective on the relationship between meteorology and human agency. In this paper, the use of "blue after rain" glaze as a visual symbol of the Song Dynasty's concept of "interaction between heaven and man" and the aesthetics of power is analyzed. Using the theory of anthropological "practical knowledge", this paper reveals how the Ru porcelain firing technique constructs a technical system deeply coupled with local meteorological knowledge through bodily experiences such as "observing the sky, distinguishing the air, and adjusting the kiln". Furthermore, through the evolution axis of energy and kiln technology, the logic of the evolution of the "human atmosphere relationship" in Ru porcelain firing from a natural embedding mode of "conforming to the natural order" to a deterministic production mode of "de meteorologization" is outlined. The paper not only profoundly reveals the ecological wisdom contained in Ru porcelain as a material cultural heritage, but also uses this case to map the inherent tension of "technical efficiency" and "ecological perception" faced by traditional handicrafts in the transformation of modernity, providing interdisciplinary inspiration for re understanding the contemporary value of ancient material culture.
