China traditional scale

1 Blue and white porcelain in the Tang Dynasty was in its infancy. There are more than 20 pieces of blue and white porcelain unearthed in Yangzhou in the 1970s and 1980s. The decorative patterns are all flowers and plants except the fish and algae tanks collected by Copenhagen Museum in Denmark. Among them, flower patterns are divided into two categories. One is typical traditional flowers in China, especially carnations, plum blossoms and other small flowers. The other is the typical Arabic pattern, with geometric figures such as diamond-shaped loose-leaf patterns. From this point of view, combined with the place where blue-and-white porcelain was unearthed in the Tang Dynasty (Yangzhou was an important port in the Tang Dynasty), it can be proved that blue-and-white porcelain in the Tang Dynasty was mainly exported.

Blue and white decorative patterns in Song Dynasty include chrysanthemum pattern, circle pattern, string pattern and line pattern.
