Overview of the development of porcelain industry in Song Dynasty
Zhao Kuangyin established the regime of the Northern Song Dynasty in 960, realizing the unification of China. After that, the long-term war in Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties caused some damage to social production, but overall, the social economy developed in waves. After 1 127, the southern song regime settled in Jiangnan, which made the southern economy prosperous for a time. All these are beneficial to the development of porcelain handicraft industry and promote the porcelain-making technology in Song Dynasty to reach a new peak.

The porcelain kiln system in the Song Dynasty and the number of workshops and kiln sites discovered now are more than those in the Tang Dynasty. The rule is to gradually approach the main roads and commercial center cities. After a representative porcelain kiln product won a reputation in the society, small workshops were set up in the neighborhood, forming a wide range of porcelain kiln systems, such as Ding kiln, Yaozhou kiln, Jun kiln, Cizhou kiln, Linru kiln, Longquan kiln, Dehua kiln and Tongan kiln. In order to maintain their traditional market and occupy new markets, these porcelain kilns have launched fierce competition in production. The invention and innovation of porcelain-making technology in the Song Dynasty broke through the situation of "southern blue and northern white" in the Tang Dynasty, and famous porcelain systems appeared one after another at home and abroad, and their artistic styles were quickly imitated by other regions.

The imperial porcelain kiln in the Song Dynasty also made great achievements. Since then, each dynasty has also built its own official kiln workshop.

In the Song Dynasty, the coal mining technology was developed, high-quality coal was used in the kiln, the temperature increased and the heat preservation time was long, which promoted the full chemical reaction of porcelain tires, glazes and pigments and provided good conditions for the improvement of porcelain making technology.

In Song Dynasty, the developed maritime traffic and the rapid development of coastal economy and trade promoted the improvement of porcelain-making technology and the prosperity of porcelain-making handicraft industry.
