On the Artistic Features of Folk Ceramics China's folk ceramics refer to those ceramic products that are fired by the people and used in people's daily life. Folk ceramics have played an important role in history, which is the basis of the development history of China ceramics and laid the direction for the famous official kilns in history. Official kiln ceramics were produced and developed on the fertile soil of folk ceramics, but the development of official kiln ceramics can not replace folk ceramics, nor can it replace folk ceramics. Folk ceramics still play a role in people's daily life. At the same time, it brings convenience to people's lives and gives people spiritual satisfaction with its simple beauty creation. Today, with the development of modern industry, this kind of simple, rough and humanistic folk ceramics is irreplaceable because of its special practical function. More importantly, we should pay attention to, protect, study and carry forward the excellent tradition of folk ceramics, which has a long history and is widely distributed in the firing field in China. In our vast land of China, there are folk ceramic workshops in every province, mainly because China is rich in raw materials for ceramics, especially the inexhaustible raw materials for making ceramics, which become the most common and cheapest raw materials, and also the most convenient raw materials for processing and manufacturing compared with other process materials. Therefore, among folk ceramics, pottery is the most, porcelain is relatively few, and most of them are coarse porcelain, and we can't see fine porcelain with pure texture and exquisite processing like official kiln, which is determined by the important material conditions and actual situation of folk kiln. Of course, we will not affect our understanding and evaluation of folk ceramic art because of the value of materials. The reason why folk ceramics are widely distributed is that people need ceramics everywhere, and they are in short supply, large in quantity and easy to be damaged. Moreover, it is more difficult to transport ceramics in remote areas and areas with inconvenient transportation. Moreover, due to the different living habits in each region, the shapes of ceramic products are different, and the folk ceramics in each region are made according to local needs. Its modeling form and structure have their own characteristics. The best way to solve the demand for ceramic products in various regions is to develop local ceramic production by "using local materials" and "adapting to local conditions" to meet the needs of people's lives in local and nearby areas. Different styles and characteristics of folk ceramics in different regions have been formed due to different living customs, diversified aesthetic consciousness and differences in process materials and techniques, and the colorful characteristics of folk ceramics in China have been formed as a whole. The common people are the creators of folk ceramics. They live in the mountains or plains. In their hard work, they use their spare time to burn all kinds of utensils necessary for daily life. Based on pragmatic thinking and the needs of real life, they create the basic form and structure of ceramic products to meet the requirements of specific use as much as possible and bring convenience to life. This is the dominant way of folk ceramics. At the same time, if possible, decoration and beautification will bring spiritual pleasure to people's lives and be loved by users, which is exactly what the creator pursues and achieves. Folk ceramics are mainly practical, and every ceramic product has practical value. However, few folk ceramics are just for appreciation. People live a simple life, and it is impossible to give up practicality to decorate under limited economic conditions. Folk ceramics serve folk life, and its formal beauty is developed on the premise of meeting practical requirements. Folklore ceramic creators follow the objective laws of things, take practical function as the leading factor, are good at controlling design ideas, give full play to imagination and creative spirit, and successfully combine the functional practicality and formal aesthetic feeling of ceramic products to create many excellent works. For example, in folk ceramics, there is a kind of pottery pot which is common everywhere and is used to hold oil and other things. The shape, form and structure of this kind of ceramic pot are basically the same everywhere. But the overall style has its own characteristics. The shape of the clay pot is a multi-body combination-the mouth is funnel-shaped, the neck is thin and has a certain height, and the shoulder and neck are equipped with handles. It should be said that this kind of pottery jar evolved from a bottle shape, with diverse and beautiful forms and strong sense of form, which gives people a profound vision. Careful analysis and understanding of the formation factors of this basic structure can clearly see that function and utility are playing an important role. Full ampulla is the main body of modeling, which is formed on the basis of obtaining large capacity. The slender neck is evolved because it contains liquid substances, which is easy to control and not easy to overflow. The funnel-shaped mouth is designed to concentrate the flow direction of liquid substances when pouring outward, and the handle is installed opposite to the "flow" to facilitate carrying and handling. From the reasons for the formation of various formal features of the above modeling, we can see that the basic structure of modeling is determined by functional utility. From the practical point of view, the relaxed and comfortable rhythm and flowing rhythm reflect the original beauty of simplicity to a certain extent, and express it in a simple and unpretentious way and in a bright, heavy and strong way. It is full of enthusiasm in a rough and unrestrained way and does not pursue originality. In the ordinary and acceptable modeling and decoration, we seek new forms of expression and intimate scale to show the beauty of the most common ceramic raw materials unabashedly. Texture and color exude the breath of life, which makes people think it is natural. Today, with modern industrial products flooding every corner of life, folk ceramics have left a green continent for people's spirit with their unique beauty. Folk ceramics are an integral part of folk culture, the creation of material culture, the expression of spiritual world and the reflection and symbol of folk life. Folk ceramics exude the fragrance of soil, which has surpassed the natural attributes of soil materials and become a national culture. The difference between this unique cultural form and other folk cultures is only the different materials used and the different expressions. However, it also injects cultural colors and thoughts and emotions into creative activities, and is close to people with its warmth. Pay attention to the relationship between the parts of modeling accordingly, so as to achieve appropriate proportions and harmonious and unified body changes. Therefore, it can be said that the beautiful modeling form of folk ceramics is always inseparable from functional utility, and the rationality of functional utility is also one of the important factors for folk ceramics to obtain formal aesthetic feeling. The materials and ideas of folk ceramics are based on reality. It is precisely because of this that folk ceramics have vigorous vitality, can create so many works that people like, can take root in folk life and bring convenience and beauty to people's lives. Folk ceramics not only have very important value, but also show people beauty, not only in the form of modeling and decoration, but also in the quality of materials and the charm of color. What is more prominent is a kind of beautiful thoughts and feelings. In those ceramic products, mutual sincere feelings are revealed, showing love for life, good wishes to users, and the pursuit of a happy life. Compared with modeling and decoration, the craft and depiction of folk ceramics are far less rigorous and exquisite than those of ancient official kilns. However, after in-depth and calm appreciation and research, we will find that many excellent folk ceramics have profound connotations, unique creative forms, natural interests and rich flavor of life, which are the origin of the beauty of folk ceramics. The preciseness and exquisiteness of the ancient official kiln ceramics in China were obtained by the producers' compulsory processing of the process materials according to specific requirements, while the folk ceramics in China were made according to certain requirements, and they could be waved freely without specific strict requirements. Therefore, folk ceramic craftsmen make full use of the flexibility and plasticity of ceramic raw materials, conform to the plasticity of soil, create natural modeling forms, and integrate people's creative spirit with the attributes of materials. Folk ceramic products conform to the natural attributes of raw materials, presenting a natural and natural aesthetic feeling, which makes people feel light.
