A comparative analysis of the design of the Eastern and Western Nautilus cups

Jia Qi, Meihui Yu

Abstract


The Nautilus cup was first discovered in the Jin Dynasty of China. With the development of new navigation, it was
introduced into Europe and became a witness of Eastern and Western civilization. It is an example of the integration of Eastern and Western
cultures. Because of the diff erent aesthetic concepts and value orientation at home and abroad, there are diff erent degrees of diff erences in
the shape and decoration of the Nautilus cup. This paper aims to explore the diff erences between Chinese and Western Nautilus cups through
the analysis of their cultural backgrounds and artistic characteristics. The results show that Chinese Nautilus cups pay more attention to
practicality, while western ones pay more attention to decoration. This diff erence can be attributed to the diff erence in the social background
of “the prevalence of drinking” and “the Age of Great voyages” between the East and the West at that time, as well as the diff erence in the
philosophical thoughts of “both writing and quality” and advocating “individual freedom”.
