The influence of Ru kiln color

The color of Ruyao occupies an important position in the history of China ceramics. On the one hand, it inherited the fine tradition of celadon in Tang Dynasty and pushed the firing technique of celadon to a new peak. On the other hand, it provides important reference and enlightenment for the production of celadon in later generations. The color of Ru kiln was all the rage in Song Dynasty, and it became a treasure sought after by the court and literati at that time.

The aesthetic value of Ru kiln color lies in its unique charm and connotation. The glaze of Ru kiln porcelain is as smooth as jade, elegant and gorgeous, giving people a quiet and restrained aesthetic feeling. This aesthetic feeling is consistent with the aesthetic concept in China traditional culture, and embodies the elegant and implicit aesthetic spirit pursued by ancient China literati.

However, due to historical reasons, the firing technique of Ru kiln was gradually lost in the Southern Song Dynasty, making Ru kiln porcelain extremely rare. Nowadays, Ruyao porcelain has become a rare treasure, which is treasured by major museums and collectors. As a treasure of China ceramic culture, the color of Ru kiln will always shine with unique charm and inherit the excellent cultural tradition of the Chinese nation.
