Ceramics have been passed down from ancient times to modern times. Why is it the perfect combination of fire and earth?

Ceramics are the perfect combination of earth and fire, and the crystallization of nature and wisdom. China has a long history, and the ceramic culture is constantly developing and accumulating, from small to large, from less to more, from low to high, from simple to complex, leaving us unforgettable artistic charm and craftsmanship. Ceramic products have been closely related to our life since ancient times. They are both practical products and works of art. ..

It can not only meet the needs of life, but also meet the spiritual pursuit. China is a famous ceramic country in the world, and the number of ceramics handed down so far is very large, which provides a unique advantage for the collection and protection of ancient ceramics.

The standard tools for identifying ancient ceramics include handed down products and archaeological excavations. They were carefully summarized and selected by predecessors, which provided us with reference in identification. However, this is not enough, and it needs continuous accumulation. In recent decades, due to urban construction and road expansion, new archaeological discoveries are increasing at an alarming rate.

This requires us to record new archaeological discoveries in time and revise existing theories. Some contents are inherently wrong and need to be corrected after new evidence is available. Some contents are not comprehensive enough and need to be supplemented and enriched. For example, the discovery of the site of celadon kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln in Hangzhou is a process of continuous supplement. From the discovery of the official kiln in Jiaotan to the appearance of the official kiln in Laohudong, the understanding and appraisal of the official kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty have been continuously improved and improved.

How to judge the real value of ceramics lies in the identification method and its own accumulation. Although it is difficult to identify ceramics, it is not mysterious. At present, the main identification method is visual identification, and if possible, it can also be combined with scientific instruments to detect its chemical composition, production age and other contents.

The author thinks that the identification of ancient ceramics should be studied and considered from four aspects: first, to master the characteristics and types of ancient ceramics; The second is the theoretical method of ancient ceramics identification; Third, the practical method of ancient ceramics identification; The fourth is how to identify imitations.

? Ceramics is the art of fire and mud, and the elements of ceramics include fetal bone, modeling, glaze color, decorative pattern, color and technology. All kinds of ceramics have their own periods of invention, creation and firing, the changes of tire soil and vessel shape, and the reform and innovation of glaze color, decoration, color and technology, all of which have their periods of success and popularization. This burning period is the upper limit of its era.
