The rise of Chinese ceramics kiln and Development

The rise of Chinese ceramics kiln and Development

Fujian Province is located in the eastern part of Germany, near the southeast coast and adjacent to the ancient Chinese foreign trade port - Fuzhou, Quanzhou and Xiamen. Germany and began firing at last and Song Qing. Rich and varied products, unique style, self-burning, to continue to export overseas, the South China is a well-known field burning kiln.

Dehua kiln have been able to in the Song Chong Hing, and after hundreds of years Sheng burning unabated and famous overseas, the reason is, of course, many aspects, such as the relative social stability, economic development and the process of porcelain And so on to improve. In addition to these preconditions, I believe that Germany and the rise of the kiln and with the development of overseas trade and export porcelain to adapt to the mode of operation has a very close relationship.

After the founding of the Song Dynasty, because of obstruction by land, attaches great importance to foreign trade, which see this as an increase in state revenues, an important measure. To this end, the court chamberlain sent overseas to attract trade in the city of tribute. Yuanyou 2002 (1087), SONG Zhe were formally approved in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province set up ship Division, responsible for the management of the Hong Kong Quanzhou Overseas Trade Services, which established a political Quanzhou has become an important trade port status, so as to promote the Quanzhou Overseas Trade The prosperity and development. China's Song Dynasty Porcelain production is booming period, when the North and the South sprung up around the kiln as established, not only produced porcelain for domestic needs, and many of the kiln a large number of export products. Quanzhou is well the traffic conditions and political and economic situation to attract a kiln in Fujian and the neighboring region of the products shipped to an endless stream of Quanzhou. Quanzhou, accompanied by Hong Kong's overseas trade development, overseas traffic to open up where the porcelain on where to transfer. In foreign trade, porcelain and silk neck and neck become an important commodity. Quanzhou and trade in East Asia are North Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore. South Asia India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, West Asia, Iran, Iraq and the east coast of Africa more than 50 countries and regions, of which 35 countries and regions to buy Chinese porcelain. In foreign trade, porcelain is still an important commodity.

Ming and Qing Dynasties of China's foreign trade is an important period. Early Ming Zheng He is one of the world unprecedented in the history of traffic-setting effort, the large-scale trade voyage opened up the Indian Ocean to the Pacific route, the East-West trade was a tremendous boost. As the sea traffic from the further expansion of the export porcelain has entered a new stage, whether the scope or amount of marketing. Are far beyond the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Although this period of Quanzhou Hong Kong's position in overseas traffic tends to decline, but still ceramics Quanzhou region through civil means a large number of businessmen and other exports overseas. Ming Dynasty from Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, Hong Kong exports, after the end of Ming Dynasty to the emerging from Xiamen to Hong Kong. Germany during this period of the kiln firing techniques has been further improved, mainly white and blue and white porcelain firing. In particular the burning of the Ming Dynasty white porcelain, is particularly beautiful, white represents the country's highest production level.

This is the production of high quality white and of German porcelain produced the raw materials are inseparable. Germany's production of china clay, silica and potassium with a high level, with glass after firing more Citai so dense, white jade, excellent light transmission; glaze as a result of low iron content in particular, the potassium content , Baking time and neutral atmosphere, since it is more pure color glaze. From the exterior, the soft glazed Yingrun, such as fat Siyu. It's white with different products in Jingdezhen. Jingdezhen is the white of the "pan-blue micro-Briand" and the white glaze of Germany is "micro-Briand pan-yellow", in the light, have surfaced in the glaze pink or white, there is a "white lard" or "ivory White "that spread to Europe, the French also known as" white goose "and" China White. " Zi You Run the tender, translucent texture, it is full of praise, "is no appreciation of the level of ceramics, as long as I can see issued by the voice of appreciation."

Ancient history of the Song Dynasty Ceramics

Ancient history of the Song Dynasty Ceramics

These ancient records, have a huge impact on future generations, the collection of Song Ci, Yanbi Chen Ru. I know as much about who he is also aware of the record, I sometimes chat with him said those words, he read the book a lot, and then determined to Ru collection. He compared this determination, told me: "I am not in possession of non-Ru, other things are not." This is when I say? More than 20 years ago! To this day, he does not have to buy one of them. He's a great determination, but he did not know of Ru rare.

collection to a large extent, I think it is a down-to-earth, is also a Suiyuan. Today, we can not say that we do not have the opportunity to meet Ru, but little chance. You buy lottery tickets may be unintentionally prize; but you have to buy non-winning goes, it took a strong, it is a difficult job for him. This friend of mine is to buy non-winning goes, so today he did not buy the. His attitude is very firm, told me: "My Collection otherwise have been ming, amazed, I will certainly give you a close look at the Ru!" I really hope that he will be able to meet Ru, but the aspiration of the deal .

Ru their scarce, so precious. In the history of various types of literature, it is highly. As for the Royal Ru, to the use of the emperor. People in the Southern Song Dynasty well, "the old martial arts" in a period of record: "Shaoxing October 21, the first Emperor Fortunately, the River Prince ... ... ... ... Bong-Jin Zhang Ru a bottle washing one, a censer, incense-in-one Hong-ball, four lights, the second son of Yu, a pair of incense, a Lian, a small Lian. "Ru total number of pieces of it? 16. This is all the Song of the historical documents recorded the largest number of Ru, said that the first Southern Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Gou, in 1151 to Prince Zhang Qinghe Xunxing home, he may come out here, into their home. Zhang was flattered, of course, are the emperor to their home. He took a group of Ru into the porcelain from the Emperor, which at that time is very precious gift, so be careful of "the old martial arts" in the detailed notes.

here said that most of the Ru porcelain is easy to understand, such as "incense burner," we think more or less know what it is; "co-Xiang", is certainly covered. In that case, "a Lian, a small Lian," what is it? It was speculated that it was a box stove, and some professional books, which they called the "Lian." Coincidentally this matter, which is now the world's Lian-to-deposit on the two, a small freshman. Some of the largest in the United Kingdom Verde Foundation, a diameter of 23.8 cm; a small diameter of 18 cm, are in the possession of the Imperial Palace in Beijing. So it was that the ancient books in the two is that the two "great Lian-and small-Lian," made it very clear. Beijing's Forbidden City that I personally took Lian, very light.

Ru why this precious? There are historical records, "the magazine-ha": "Jin Shao Ru palace, with agate for the glaze." This very important document, proposed by the Ru glaze is shown by the agate. We know that the ancient Chinese jade and agate on the full awe, agate is a very valuable material. Shaozao in Ru, glaze Riga at the end of the agate, the luster of Ru glazed porcelain with other different. There is a coincidence, the week so why write? Yu was the local production agate. So, this is not smoke without fire. History has never recorded any other porcelain, in the glaze used in the agate. But from a scientific point of view, the agate What can have a glaze on the benefits and there has been no conclusion.
