It is generally believed that China porcelain is famous for its blue and white, while red porcelain is rare. In fact, China Zisha has a long history. The development history of purple sand can be divided into several stages with obvious characteristics, such as the founding period of late Tang Dynasty, the mature period of Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the heyday of Ming and Qing Dynasties and the contemporary revival period.

During the period of 1978, archaeologists discovered many Tang Dynasty ceramic kiln sites in Tongguan, Hunan. Archaeological findings show that the birthplace of underglaze color of China porcelain is here, and the earliest red porcelain in China was also born here.

The original red porcelain was the product of accidental firing. Changsha kiln copper was widely used in the Tang Dynasty to burn green. Due to the firing atmosphere, reducing flame often appears, and high-priced copper turns into low-priced copper in reducing flame, and the color is red. So Changsha kiln appeared the first touch of red in the history of world ceramics. Perhaps it is from here that China's red porcelain has become the unremitting pursuit of generations of porcelain-burning people.

Zisha began in the late Tang Dynasty, but in terms of technology, the maturity of Zisha technology was in the Yuan Dynasty. Jingdezhen in Yuan Dynasty developed and innovated the glaze red technology since the previous dynasty, and began the history of mass production of glaze red.

The complete peak of China red porcelain appeared in Jingdezhen, the capital of porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty. Jingdezhen has a touching story of paying homage to the red. It is said that a craftsman's daughter jumped into the sea of fire to burn a red bottle, thus sacrificing the most famous red porcelain in ancient China. It is dignified in color, noble and solemn, just like a rosy cloud in the sky after the rain in Chuqing. Unfortunately, the firing technique of sacrificial purple sand has been lost since then, although craftsmen burned out various kinds of purple sand in the Ming and Qing Dynasties; However, during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, almost all the skills of firing purple sand were lost because of the war. After the founding of New China, although some traditional techniques of firing purple sand were restored; However, only in the pursuit of thousands of years, people in the porcelain industry dream of firing red porcelain with real high temperature resistance.
