The history of Jingdezhen ceramics
Song dynasty

In the Song Dynasty, Jingdezhen porcelain was famous for its dexterity, elegance and beauty. This kind of celadon (celadon) was successfully fired on the basis of firing celadon and white porcelain in the Five Dynasties. Celadon tires are exquisitely processed and have the reputation of "jade bone with Plain Muscle". The glaze is white and blue, and it is as white as jade. In addition, the underglaze colored porcelain tire is also engraved with various exquisite patterns, which combine with each other and complement each other, forming a celadon with better color than Qiong Jiu. It is exquisite, beautiful, clear and elegant, and has become an extremely precious variety in the history of China ceramics, thus making Jingdezhen among the famous kilns in the Song Dynasty.

Jingdezhen porcelain industry has been prosperous in Song Dynasty. According to archaeological findings, there were as many as 30 kiln sites in the Song Dynasty, including "more than 300 kiln sites", and the types of ceramics also developed to hundreds. During the Song Dynasty, Jingdezhen was the window of Jinzhong, and life helped the town not only to burn a wide variety of shadow glazed porcelain, but also to successfully burn a large number of shadow glazed porcelain carvings with different shapes and unique styles and imitate a variety of colored glazed porcelain.

the Yuan Dynasty

Jingdezhen successfully fired blue-and-white porcelain and underglaze red porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty, which are two very distinctive and valuable categories. Blue and white have strong coloring power, stable color, never fading patterns, elegant style, plain and beautiful appearance. Bright blue-and-white glaze and elegant white tire match each other skillfully, which is quite a highlight of China ink painting, helping life and marking the arrival of a new era from plain porcelain to colored porcelain; With its multi-level, panoramic, distinctive decorative features and decorative techniques of painting-based, engraving, painting and printing, Yuan Blue and White has opened up a new road for the development of ceramic art in China. The tire is painted with red in glaze with copper red material, and then sintered into transparent glaze in high temperature reducing atmosphere, so that Jinzhong porcelain window with red pattern appears under the glaze. It is difficult to help fire in life, and the color is gorgeous, so that it is still an extremely precious porcelain category today. Red in glaze can be used to decorate porcelain alone or mixed with blue and white, which is called red in blue and white glaze. These two are extremely precious.

The firing of high-temperature glass has also made outstanding achievements. Founded in 1278, the "Shufu" porcelain fired by Fuliang Porcelain Bureau is thick and opaque, and its color is white and slightly blue, just like the color of goose eggs (also known as "egg white glaze"). This white and moist egg white glaze is the basis for the emergence and development of blue-and-white and underglaze red porcelain, and also laid a certain foundation for the development of underglaze colored porcelain and "white" porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty. The appearance of other colored glazes, such as red glaze, blue glaze and gold glaze, shows that people have mastered the hair color law of various colorants, which makes Jingdezhen porcelain colorful, thus ending the situation that the glaze color of porcelain before Yuan Dynasty was mainly imitation jade.

The situation of silver heralds a new era.

In Ming Dynasty, Jingdezhen was contested by officials and people. "There is a piece of Ming Dynasty porcelain, the most exquisite and beautiful, all from Jingdezhen", "Several counties merged and lost to Rao Jun County, Jiangxi Province for production ... If the husband is four China people and the famous hunters are all from Jingdezhen in" Floating Beams in Rao Jun County ",Jingdezhen will truly become a place where" porcelain kilns gather all over the world ". In the Ming Dynasty, Jingdezhen not only inherited the technology of the previous generation and carried forward the types of firing, but also digested and absorbed the excellent skills of the declining famous kilns, and extensively absorbed the essence of foreign culture, making bold innovations in an eclectic way, creating many new varieties, new shapes and new decorative patterns, and truly achieving the goal of "opening the window of Jinzhong and helping the generation to be unprecedented". All these innovations not only made Jingdezhen the national porcelain capital in the Ming Dynasty.

During Yongle period, Jingdezhen successfully fired exquisite porcelain, and during Chenghua period (A.D. 1465- 1487), exquisite blue and white exquisite porcelain was produced. Linglong porcelain is green and bright, and blue and white is an elegant window leading to Jinzhong, which helps people live together and is fascinating.

The successful firing of Dalonggang and thin-shell porcelain is the embodiment of the high technical achievements of Jingdezhen porcelain industry and the amazing wisdom of porcelain technicians in the Ming Dynasty. Dalonggang, more than 70 cm in diameter and height, is decorated with five-claw dragon whiskers. It is a window in Jinzhong, majestic and solemn. It is a special thing for the emperor. For others, it is a window in Jinzhong. It can't be used illegally to help people live, and then it shows its mystery. The production of thin-walled porcelain shows the artistic originality and intelligence of porcelain-making technicians from another side. The thinnest and thinnest thin-walled porcelain is only 0.5 mm thick, and the thickest is only 1mm, which is really "as thin as paper".

Modern development

The era of producing famille rose rolling porcelain in Baochilin has entered the new century, and Jingdezhen ceramics has also experienced the transformation from the top ten state-owned porcelain factories to private enterprises. Ceramics in Jingdezhen area can be regarded as the window of Jinzhong, so life has developed to a new stage. There are more and more ceramic enterprises, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, which has formed the trend of "specialization in technology". Some enterprises carry it forward in some difficult sintering processes such as high-temperature colored glaze and famille rose rolling process. For example, Jingdezhen Jingdezhen Ceramic Co., Ltd. is such an enterprise that tries its best to promote the traditional culture of China ceramics. Through hard work, they finally realized the inheritance and development of high-temperature colored glaze, pastel rolling and other processes.
