Porcelain is made up of stone, kaolin, porcelain pieces, mullite and other components, and its appearance is glazed or painted in a glass-like shape. Porcelain is shaped by firing at high temperature (1280℃-1400℃) in a kiln, and the surface of porcelain will produce glaze color due to different temperatures, resulting in various chemical changes. Generally, this kind of porcelain contains less than 3% iron when sintered, and it is impermeable to water. Because of its relatively low cost, wear resistance and impermeability, it is widely used and loved by people all over the world, and it is a treasure displayed by Chinese civilized porcelain.

China is the hometown of China, and China is the great invention contribution of the Chinese nation to world civilization. In English, "China" and "China" are the same word. Early porcelain appeared in China around the middle of Shang Dynasty in the16th century BC. Because its firing process on both the green body and the glaze layer is still rough, the firing temperature is low, and it is poor and transitional, so it is generally called "original porcelain".

China porcelain was developed from pottery, and the original porcelain originated more than 3000 years ago. By the Song Dynasty, Ding had spread all over half of China, which was the most prosperous period of porcelain industry. At that time, Ru Kiln, Guan Kiln and Ge Kiln were called the official kilns of Song Dynasty, and Jingdezhen, which was also called the porcelain capital with the ancient Jun Kiln and Wu Guan Kiln, became a representative in the Yuan Dynasty. Blue and white porcelain enamel is transparent, moist and moist, and the thin white porcelain body is suitable for blue lines, which is elegant, fresh and full of vitality. Blue-and-white porcelain was once all the rage and became the traditional crown of Jingdezhen, commonly known as the four blue-and-white porcelain, pastel porcelain and glazed porcelain. In addition, there are porcelain sculpture, thin-embryo porcelain, colored-embryo porcelain, etc. , are very thin, each with its own characteristics.

Multicolored porcelain is one of China's great inventions in ancient times. In English, "porcelain capital" and "China" are the same word, which shows that the exquisiteness of China porcelain can be regarded as the representative of China. High-grade porcelain was much more difficult to make than ordinary porcelain in ancient royal families, so there was a porcelain collection. As an ancient boutique in China, porcelain flows to various countries through one of the trade channels of various luxury goods, and exquisite ancient porcelain is collected by collectors as an antique with collection value. China ancient porcelain has also taken the sky-high price of high-quality goods, but some "porcelains" are not in China. Europeans and Americans, they especially like to marry high-grade porcelain tea sets.

The road of ceramics

"The Road of Ceramics" (the road of China's later Tang Dynasty) originated in the Middle Ages, and it is the main artery of communication between China and foreign countries. Because China is different from silk in nature, it can't be transported by land, so it can only be transported by sea. This is the second Eurasian Continental Bridge. In this trade route and the spread of many products, tea and spices are the earliest ... The reason why it was named "Ceramic Trade Road" with China was mainly because of its mainly nature. Some people also called this seaport "Maritime Silk Road". But one thing is certain, in the late Tang Dynasty, due to the rise of the Ottoman Empire and other reasons, the status of the "Silk Road on Land" began to weaken. The starting point of the road of "ceramics" is the East China Sea, the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea to the east coast of Africa or the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea to Egypt along the southeast coast of China. Or from the southeast coast through Japan and North Korea. In all aspects of the article, China ceramics shine like pearls along the coast, illuminating the whole Southeast Asia, Africa and the Arab world.
