연효파 ( Xiaobo Lian ),이상영 ( Sangyoung Lee ) 한국인더스트리얼디자인학회 2020 산업디자인학연구 Vol.14 No.1

연구배경 도자다호는 도자기와 차(茶)문화 발전의 주요 매개체이며 중국인의 생활과 철학을 반영하는 생활필수품으로써, 현대적 감각의 도자다호 개발의 요구가 높아지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 중국 3대 도자다호의 조형성을 비교분석하여 소비자의 선호도 파악 및 향후 개발방향을 모색하고자 하였다. 연구방법 문헌 연구 및 실증분석을 병행하였으며, 중국 최대 인터넷 쇼핑몰에서 2013년~2019년간의 지역별 매출액 20위까지의 자료 각 100개씩 총 300개를 수집·분석하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 형태는 타원형이 가장 많았고 지역별 큰 변별력이 없었는데, 이것은 지역에 상관없이 사용성과 기능적 역할 수행에 맞게 제작되기 때문이다. 둘째, 색채의 경우, 덕화는 고백자토를 사용한 백색, 경덕진은 채회, 색유, 투명유로 활용한 다양한 색채, 이싱은 무유를 이용한 붉은빛 색채의 제품을 제작하였다. 셋째, 문양의 경우, 덕화는 부분적 구도에 단순하고 문인화적인 문양, 경덕진은 다호 몸체를 채우는 만포적 구도에 정교하며 화려함, 이싱은 양각과 음각 위주의 입체적인 문양으로 표현 등을 통한 지역적 특색을 가장 많이 나타났다. 넷째, 재료는 각각 특색 있는 지역의 재료를 사용함으로써 외적으로 확연하게 구별되는 특징을 갖게 하였다. 결론 상기의 조형 요소별 특성을 종합해보면 형태는 도자다호의 기능적인 특성, 색채와 재료는 지역별 원재료의 특성, 문양은 각 지역별 원재료를 토대로 한 문화적 특성에 기반을 둔다고 볼 수 있다. 전체적으로 보면, 전통의 계승이라는 긍정적인 면이 분명히 있으나, 이는 현대 감각에 맞는 디자인 혁신이 부족하다는 반증이기도 하다. 향후 개성 있고 창의적인 도자다호를 개발하는데 본 연구가 조금이나마 도움이 되길 기대한다. Background Teapots are important media for the development of potteries and tea culture and an essential household item that reflects the life and philosophy of the Chinese people. And, there is an increasing demand for the development of teapots of modern senses. For this, the researcher conducted a comparative analysis of the forms of the three major Chinese teapots in order to identify the preference of the consumers and seek future directions for product development. Methods Theoretical research and practical analysis was carried out. 100 entries from the top Internet shopping mall of China up to 20th in the rankings of sales in each reason over the period from 2013 till 2019, totaling to 300 sets were selected as the target for the study. Results First, the majority was in an elliptical shape, and there were no significant differences among different areas. Second, Dehua was using more single-colored designs with more whites. Jingdezhen uses more colors based on plaster, colored oil, or clear oil. Yixing mainly uses unglazed making products of dominantly reddish colors. Third, Dehua used simplified, symbolic patterns, while Jingdezhen filled up the body of the pot with patterns of highly delicate and splendid designs. Yixing was mainly focusing on multi-dimensional designs including reliefs and hollow reliefs. Fourth, the three major ceramics used the unique materials of their own regions, which resulted in clearly distinguishing appearances. Conclusion Overall, while there was a certainly positive aspect of preserving the tradition, it also indicates that the innovation in design to appeal to the modern senses is not done sufficiently.
