Porcelain Culture For 3000 Years

The development history of Chinese porcelain is, in two words, the process from "a hundred schools of thought contending" to "one family is dominant".

Porcelain was developed from pottery. Around the Shang Dynasty, our ancestors were able to make original porcelain.

The real successful burning of porcelain did not appear very late in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There is one most important difference between burning pottery, original porcelain and porcelain, which is temperature. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was divided into the Three Kingdoms.
During the Three Kingdoms, the Jin and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the family finally welcomed a newcomer, Baici.
The wheel of history rolled towards the Sui Dynasty. At this time, in the porcelain family, the voice of celadon was getting bigger and bigger, but the new white porcelain was unwilling to show weakness. It was slowly accumulating energy to make itself whiter and whiter, thick and thin. In the Tang Dynasty, Bai porcelain finally successfully stood up and reached the point where it could compete with celadon, forming a situation of "Southern Qingbeibai". The representative of the south is Yueyao from Zhejiang, and the representative of the north is Xingyao from Hebei, so there is also a saying of "South Vietnam and Beixing".
Next, we came to the Song Dynasty, a dynasty where porcelain was really in full bloom. In this dynasty, there are our most famous "five famous kilns" - Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, Ding.

During his use of the year of Jingde, Song Zhenzong gave a place where the original name of "Changnan Town" was "Jingde Town" for burning green and white porcelain. Later, this place became the center of porcelain in China and even the world by this name.
It is colorful, and the whole family is unique.

Since the Yuan Dynasty, the era of hundreds of porcelain has ended, and it has become a unique situation in Jingdezhen.

Yuan Dynasty

During the Yuan Dynasty, Jingdezhen burned egg white glazed porcelain on the basis of the previous blue and white porcelain. Egg white, as the name implies, is as white as an egg. For the specific degree of whiteness, you can refer to the goose egg.

In addition to the blue flowers, they also made red, which is called glaze red. There is also a red and blue collocation, which is called blue and white glaze red. The dominant family in Jingdezhen did not make it stagnate.
Ming Dynasty

Jingdezhen made more efforts to burn a variety of colors of porcelain, which are divided into four categories: subglaze color, glaze color, bucket color and color glaze.

In the Qing Dynasty, Jingdezhen's position as the porcelain capital of China has never wavered. The porcelain of the Qing Dynasty is the same as the current Qing palace opera, mainly the Kang Yongqian Three Dynasties.

The world's porcelain capital

Jingdezhen is known as the "porcelain capital". The porcelain is beautiful in shape, diverse in variety, rich in decoration and unique in style. It is famous for being as white as jade, as bright as a mirror, as thin as paper, and as loud as as as as as as as. Its blue and white porcelain, exquisite porcelain, pastel porcelain and colored glaze porcelain are collectively known as the four famous traditional porcelains of Jingdezhen.

Historically, Jingdezhen porcelain is not only good at reputation at the sea, but also widely praised overseas. According to relevant historical records, people in ancient Southeast Asia, Arabia, Africa and Europe liked Chinese porcelain very much, especially in Jingdezhen.

It can only be imitated and cannot be surpassed.
Five thousand years of Chinese civilization, and three thousand years of history runs through porcelain civilization. These exquisite porcelains witness the splendid civilization of Chinese culture.
