Can you believe it? The ancients in China couldn't burn a vat?
This statement should be seen in Master Ma's "The urn and the tank". Mr. Ma, can you explain? There is no truth in history, there is only one truth left? , gave an example of Sima Guang smashing the cylinder:

He found Song Shi? What was smashed in Sima Guang Biography? Urn? Later, it was said that convergence is an urn and exposure is a cylinder. what do you think? There are many technical problems in ceramic firing? ,? Is it the end of Ming Dynasty that the open deep belly cylinder was completely fired? Yun Yun. (The original text can be seen in the related tweets of Guanfu Museum, and there is no link here. )

If we want to discuss the age of jars and urns, some of Mr. Ma's views on jars are unconvincing. We have to speak for the tank. To be fair, yes.

Archaeology has proved that huge pottery pots appeared in the Neolithic Age thousands of years ago. For example, the following picture, which you have seen in middle school history textbooks, depicts Yangshao culture, with a stork, a fish, a stone axe and a clay pot. The height reached 47 cm and the caliber was 32.7 cm.

Historical records of Sima Qian in the Western Han Dynasty? There is a saying in the biography of Huo Zhi? A thousand cans of acyl (xρ) sauce? It means to describe how much wine and meat are used as containers. How big was the jar in Han Dynasty? A jar of wine was unearthed in the Han tomb in Mancheng. The high energy is 72 cm, and the square cover is pressed on it to prevent alcohol from volatilizing. Use is no different from today.

As for the firing age, the opposition is even greater. Because electrical appliances such as cylinder tiles are strictly daily necessities. Even porcelain is mostly civilian coarse porcelain. The requirements for tire composition and decoration are not fine, but they are large in size and thick in wall. This is not technically difficult, and it is not necessary to wait until the end of the Ming Dynasty to limit the firing temperature and the size of the kiln room. This big pottery jar in the Han Tomb in Mancheng can explain the problem. Except for some aspects of modeling, the firing technology is no different.

At that time, the molding of ceramics mainly used the method of drawing blanks. You can also see this situation in many videos, that is, the mud balls on the turntable are dug by hand, drawn into ceramic blanks, and then polished and decorated. This method has been mastered in China for a long time (some people think it can be as early as the Neolithic Age).

Most afraid of a history teacher or scholar telling me one? Historical truth? , misleading children often from? The truth? Here we go. ? We should learn from Mr. Ma's skepticism and thoughts, but some of his views on cylinder tiles are unconvincing. We should also be skeptical of these views. Maybe he's trying to prove it to us from the opposite side? Historical truth? Not credible.

Of course, people's knowledge structure and knowledge reserve are different, and it is almost impossible for a person to master all the literature allusions, historical materials and archaeological knowledge. As a well-known father Ma in China, although he has some shortcomings in understanding, it is undeniable that he has made great contributions to popularizing traditional culture.
