Chinese Porcelains

Good morning, everyone

Today, I want to tell you something about Chinese Porcelains. China is the hometown of porcelains. It’s

an important creation of the working people of Han nationality. Porcelain developed from Pottery. The

earliest porcelain appeared in Shang and Zhou dynasty about 3,000 years ago. The true meaning of the Chinese

porcelains produced in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In The Middle Ages, accompanied by Chinese Porcelains export, Chinese began to known in the world as “Country

of Porcelain”. By the Song Dynasty some seven centuries later, the porcelain industry was flourishing.

Ming and Qing Dynasty was the heyday of Chinese Porcelains. The quantity and quality of porcelain production

has reached the peak. Jingdezhen as the “Porcelain Capital” status has been established.

Welcome to Jingdezhen Museum. Jingdezhen is located in northeastern Jiangxi. Jingdezhen porcelain is the

pearl in the treasure house of Chinese art and culture. In its long and glorious history, a brilliant art

and craft has been handed down. The feature of Jingdezhen Porcelain was described as being “as white as

jade, as thin as paper, as bright as a mirror, with a sound as clear as a bell.” The four traditional

porcelains are Blue and white porcelain, Glowing porcelain, Color glaze porcelain, and Famille-rose

porcelain.

Blue and white porcelain has a white base with blue designs. Blue designs are applied to the white body

of the porcelain, making it appear elegant, fresh and full of vigor. Its unique artistic connotation is

the perfect combined of traditional and modern arts.

Glowing porcelain is also called “Mitong” in China. Craftsmen carve out many regular “delicate eyes”

in the porcelain body, and then fire these holes with the glaze into the bright hole. European called it

as “the transparent rice pattern”.

Jingdezhen’s colorful glaze is famous for all over the world. It contains a long tradition, and is gradually

concluded by our ancestors during the long-time producing and experimenting. Our ancestors had accumulated

rich experience in the long time producing and struggling. Famile-rose porcelain also called soft decorative porcelain, which is one of the four traditional porcelain

of Jingdezhen. As known as soft colors, is over glaze decoration of porcelain wares. “A man without porcelain

is not noble. A room without porcelain is indecent.” Porcelain is ubiquitous in our culture.

Thank you for your attention. Next, we will have a lunch in a five star hotel.
