Abstract

This paper aims to explore the ecological design thought contained in Hakka traditional daily utensils, taking systematic theory as the basis to conduct system analysis of utensils' "material selection - production – use cycle" and design theories. It comes to the following conclusion: first, the Hakka traditional utensils are made from local materials with the characteristics of ecological protection; second, in the production process, the production links are compressed to reduce the use of materials, which has reduced the impact on environment; third, in the course of use, the Hakka people are good at repair and reuse, thus the utensils' service life are extended; fourth, with respect to the design theories, plain articles are produced for practical use to save resources and manpower. Through the systematic research, it can be concluded that the Hakka traditional utensils have rich ecological design thought, which have great enlightenment to contemporary design.
