<p>Material remains preserve traces of human life and everyday practice. This study examines Chinese traditional utensils from the perspective of human use. It asks how objects acquire meaning through their relations with the body, and how sensory experience is organized in everyday use. Taking human factors as its point of departure, the study proposes the concept of “utensil posture” and develops a body–utensil–context framework. It analyses selected cases of Chinese traditional utensils across five sensory dimensions: vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. The study shows that utensil posture is more than external form. It maps and extends patterns of human action. It can be understood through three levels: object posture, embodied posture, and cultural posture. These levels link material form, bodily operation, and cultural practice. The findings suggest that human factors awareness in traditional utensils emerges through the interaction between bodily action and sensory experience. The making of traditional utensils therefore involves attention to use, action, and the sensory qualities through which utensils are perceived and experienced.</p>
