Abstract The study of intangible cultural heritage has been gaining increasing attention year by year, with various theories emerging. However, there is still a lack of in-depth exploration and scientific popularization of the scientific principles embedded in intangible cultural heritage. This experiment, driven by a commitment to cultivating the fertile ground of intangible heritage and infusing traditional culture with the charm of technology, aims to simulate traditional ceramic glazing techniques and decode the scientific principles behind the ever-changing colors of porcelain glazes. Focusing on three aspects involving preparation of ceramic glaze pigments, glaze surface decoration techniques, and the glaze discoloration process, the experiment replaces professional materials with common household items and substitutes high-temperature firing with room-temperature reactions. This approach not only achieves a demonstration of glaze discoloration at room temperature but also faithfully replicates the processes of overglaze, underglaze, and doucai (multi-colored decoration) in traditional porcelain glaze decoration. Furthermore, the virtual simulation programs has been developed, integrating online and offline platforms to promote a multi-dimensional and gradient approach to the scientific popularization of traditional ceramic techniques.
