Combined with the historical facts of the development of ancient handicrafts in China, what are the characteristics of ancient handicrafts in China?

(1) government-run handicrafts and private handicrafts coexist. Government-run handicraft industry has long dominated, but it is shrinking; Private handicraft industry continued to grow and develop, and gradually occupied a dominant position in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

(2) The handicraft production in ancient China was widely distributed, with large scale, fine division of labor, diverse products and advanced production technology.

(3) China's ancient handicraft industry has been ahead of the world for a long time, and its products are exported to Asia, Europe and Africa, and are widely praised.

(4) The expansion of handicraft production scale and the emergence of workshop handicraft industry. From the management mode, the private handicraft industry has experienced the transformation from family handicraft industry to workshop handicraft industry, and then to workshop handicraft industry. By the middle and late Ming Dynasty, capitalism had sprouted in private handicrafts.

(5) The economic center of gravity moves southward and the corresponding industrial layout changes. The economic center of gravity in ancient China was originally in the north, and then gradually shifted to the south. About the Southern Song Dynasty, China's economic center of gravity changed from north to south. With the shift of economic center of gravity, the main producing areas of many industrial sectors and industrial products have gradually shifted from the north to the south. This situation is most obvious in the regional distribution changes of ancient silk industry in China.

(6) The development of agriculture and handicraft industry is closely combined, but the development of handicraft industry is restricted by agricultural production.
