Visualization Study of Traditional Artistic Crafts of “Kao Gong Ji” Based on Digital Simulation and Reconstruction

“Kao Gong Ji” is a major work of handicraft technology in early ancient China, which recorded in detail the handicraft methods and craft information of the pre-Qin era in China, summarized the industrial production technology and construction system at that time, and embodied the advanced social ideological concepts at that time. It plays an important role in studying the history of science and technology, crafts, and culture in China. The technical concept of “Heaven has time, earth has gas, material has beauty, and work has skill, and when these four are combined, then it can be made into a good one” still provides the basic method for modern craft production. Through digital visualization technology, we can digitally reproduce the craft technology and artistic expressions recorded in the Book of Examination and Records of Work, and understand the principles and characteristics of ancient craft technology more deeply. This can not only provide inspiration and reference for modern craft innovation but also help modern craftsmen better master traditional craft skills and promote the integration and development of traditional crafts with modern technology. The use of this technology is not only the inheritance and promotion of traditional culture but also a powerful impetus to the development of modern crafts.
