In the early years,people have made splendid achievements in ceramic fieldespecially in Yellow River and Changjiang River drainagearea where a lot of potteries and pottery fragments in theNeolithic age were unearthed at historical sites. Some ofthem were not only commodities, but also artworks suchas ancient painted pottery and pottery figurine（塑像）.With the development of pottery industry, the previousclay-strip forming technique has been changed to throwclay（粘土）method,while advanced side-fired kiln andshaft kiln replaced ground firing. People at that time alsogot some experience on how to control the temperature.The highest firing temperature had reached 1100℃, whichwas quite close to the firing temperature between potteryand porcelain. In the early period of Yin and ShangDynasty,the appearance of white pottery whose materialDong Han、W ei、Jin In Dong Han Dynasty, the appearance of mature celadon(青瓷）in Yue kiln was a milestone in the history of Chinese ceramics. Wei Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, the South and North Dynasty were just the seedtime. At that time, celadon played an important role in ceramics, which was widely fired. In the mean time, a small quality of black glazed（上釉的）porcelain and white glazed porcelain were discovered.

Yue kiln was the typical representative with high artistic value. The tyre(胎）was light, thin and compact; the glaze layer（釉面）was transparent and exquisite. White porcelain of Xing kiln in Tang Dynasty was the representative of "North white". The degree of whiteness in both body and glaze was good. Its body was compact and usually had a ringing sound when being knocked.tri-coloured glazedpottery of the TangDynastySong Dynasty Song Dynasty was the third prosperous period of the feudal society. Technology, culture, art and handicraft were highly developed. The ceramic industry was flourishing too. Porcelain kilns with regional feature spread all over the country, which formed the layout of "six kiln factions（派系）" and "five famous kilns". "Six kiln factions" were Ding kiln faction, Jun kiln faction, Yaozhou kiln faction, Cizhou kiln faction, Longquan kiln faction and Jingdezhen kiln faction. "Five famous kilns" were Guan kiln, Ru kiln, Ge kiln, Ding kiln and Jun kiln.

From then on, the quality and quantity of porcelain increased rapidly.
