Ceramics: the Soil That Sticks to Civilization
About This Novel
After people mastered the skill of making fire, they accidentally discovered that burning fire on high-quality clay would make the clay hard. This was the origin of ceramics. When fire and earth meet, ceramic art is born. Starting from the primitive pottery of the Neolithic Age, human kiln-firing technology has progressed through continuous failures, and has also continued to spread along with human footprints. In China, the production of ceramics has a history of three thousand years. It has experienced the development process from pottery to porcelain, and then to ceramics. During this period, unique types such as celadon, white porcelain, secret color porcelain, three-color porcelain, multi-color porcelain, and blue and white porcelain were born. In Iran, Türkiye, Afghanistan and other places in the Western Regions, ceramic crafts with exotic characteristics were also developed and became popular. Through land and sea trade routes, Chinese porcelain absorbed the characteristics of the Western Regions, and Westerners were impressed by the beauty of Chinese ceramics. Since then, ceramics have become a symbol of Chinese culture. For thousands of years, porcelain fragments scattered in ports and coasts around the world have connected them into the famous "Maritime Silk Road". Chinese ceramics with Jingdezhen as the center is a milestone that connects the world as a whole.
