Information about ceramics

Narrow sense ceramics (traditional ceramics): the general name of products with clay as the main raw material, such as pottery, stoneware and porcelain.

As early as 1000 years ago, when Europeans mastered porcelain manufacturing technology, China people had already produced exquisite ceramics. China is one of the earliest countries to use pottery in the world, and China porcelain is highly praised by the world for its high practicality and artistry.

There are three kinds of ceramics: daily-use ceramics, artistic ceramics and architectural ceramics. Archaeological findings prove that China people invented pottery as early as the Neolithic Age (about 8000-2000 BC). Agricultural production in the late primitive society made the ancestors of China people live a relatively fixed life, and there was an objective demand for pottery. In order to improve the convenience and quality of life, people gradually burn pottery by firing clay.
