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."
