THE PROBLEMS AND INNOVATIVE DIRECTION OF CHINESE GLASS ART FROM THE STUDY OF TRADITIONAL GLASS ART IN ZIBO CITY, SHANDONG PROVINCE

Abstract

China has a very long history of glass. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zibo Mountain
area in Shandong Province of China became an important producing area of Chinese glass art,
and Chinese glass art also reached a certain peak in this period, and many glass products were
exported overseas ( Sun, 2013) . Since the 20th century, with the development of modern
industrial technology, China's glass art has been renewed.
Chinese contemporary glass art has gradually developed under the promotion of the
international Glass Studio movement, and the contemporary glass art education centered on
colleges and universities has maintained good contacts and exchanges with the mature
international glass art ecology in its development process, and has drawn a lot of mature
experience in international glass art creation, teaching, exhibition and other aspects. This
development model is based on the academic strength of colleges and universities and the
evaluation system of research institutions to guide and promote the construction of the entire
glass culture circle. After years of accumulation, glass art has taken root and sprouted in the
mass cultural life and nurtured the national characteristics of contemporary Chinese glass (Han,
2018) . The creation of the academic school is more inclined to the innovation of concept and
shape, while the traditional handicraft industry is more inclined to maintain the continuation of
professional manual technology. Therefore, there is still a separation between technology and
art, individual and the whole in China's glass industry.
Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to study the history and development of
Chinese glass art. For the Chinese local characteristics of glass craft - China's Shandong
Province Zibo on the traditional and complicated traditional hand-made glass craft in all aspects
of research and investigation. Therefore, in addition to advocating a new movement similar to
the glass studio, research on how to better develop Chinese local glass art.
