Shiwan pottery sculptures from Foshan represent a vital component of China’s traditional craftsmanship, distinguished by their profound historical roots and unique artistic value. Originating in Foshan, Guangdong, Shiwan pottery has evolved over centuries, developing distinct regional and cultural characteristics. However, with the advancement of globalization and modernization, the phenomenon of cultural hybridization has increasingly impacted this traditional craft. Cultural hybridization refers to the collision and blending of traditional, modern, and emerging cultures at the intersection of diverse cultural influences. This phenomenon poses challenges to the traditional techniques of Shiwan pottery, while also offering opportunities for innovative development. In recent years, Shiwan pottery has managed to incorporate modern design concepts and technological advancements while preserving the essence of traditional craftsmanship, achieving innovation in both form and content. Nonetheless, a pressing issue remains: how to balance the protection and inheritance of traditional culture with the development of pathways that align with contemporary aesthetics and market demands.
